A while since I finnished these. Used when spinning thread of flax fibers. Distaff in english or "linfäste" in Swedish. They can be very simple in shape or very detailed with carvings.
-
These are carved out of birch. The longer one got an old bamboo staff from an old fishing rod. It's quite long so when you sit you have the staff under your arm, and the end is standing on the seat for a steady hold while working. The smaller one got a shorter staff you easely can hold while spinning.
-
The spiral pattern or what you should call it, I tried to imitate fibers wrapped around a stick.
@regnmia stod for the inspiration 🙂
