Spinning cotton on a tiny cross armed spindle, but I need a bit more practice before I can use it for tatting.

A while ago I took on a chain plying assignment.
To say this got me to practice chain plying, and get my plying abilities back on track would be an understatement.

The Wytsingdays is a small free viking living history event, and I’ll be participating!

I’ll be showing how to spin with a spindle and distaff, with a few extra’s.
