A Distaff Spinner’s Diary
distaff-spinner.bsky.social
Spinning yarn the old fashioned way with a distaff and spindle, or spinning wheel. Taking raw fibres through each process, slowly, step by step, to finished article. Growing dye plants for natural colour and wild flowers for the bees and butterflies. 🏴

Sun & Mon July 26th & 27th 2026, find @potsofhistory.bsky.social and I @vindolandatrust.bsky.social Vindolanda Roman Fort, demonstrating Roman pottery making technology. It'll be the first outing for my conjectural reconstruction of a potential potters wheel found in the North Field.

I actually started on a wheel more than a decade ago. Life intervened for a little more than a decade before I took a spindle class last fall. I love it now. So, my first spinning project was a shawl for my mother, more than a decade ago.
Show PostThat's amazing! I'm still quite new to fiber prep and spinning, and I think many others are fairly new (not you, of course) as well. So, getting an idea of how things could be is interesting to me.

Final spot of Iron Age charioteering before I leave wonderful Chalke. Magical weekend, and can’t emphasise how hard the chariot builders worked in impossible heat to enable this. Next stop @durotrigesdig.bsky.social open day!
