For Anglo-Saxon women, rather than Scandinavian women, was the drop =
spindle a bottom whorl? & did it have a notch at the top or a carved =
hook?
Are you making your own or buying them & where?
Did one use a distaff for flax only or for wool as well & what shape did =
it take? =20
Also, what hand-combs are you using? I cannot afford to buy new combs =
right yet, but want larger ones eventually. I currently have the Louet =
Mini-combs which are inappropriate due to the plastic insert, I'm sure. =
<G>
&, anyone who has found good purveyors of these goods in the States, =
please let me know. Yrs, =C6lfgifu
