There were a couple of other purchases back at Coronation that I didn't mention yet. First, this lovely forked stick.

Is is a
slingshot? A
dowsing rod? No, it is in fact a
distaff.
I also got another stick.

This one, with its handmolded lump of metal on the end, is a bottom-whorl
drop spindle.
This

is 50g of silk roving.
Yes, I plan to start spinning. I am doomed.

Yup. That's the beginning of the end! Next comes a spinning wheel, then it's back to the sheep farm. You remember sheep? Those stupid, smelly critters we had back in the US???
