I love watching old film footage especially of handicrafts. I cane across this silent film made in Germany in the 1930’s of the process of setting up a distaff (never seen that!), and then spinning and winding a skein. It was really neat and I thought someone here would enjoy it.
(I really want to learn how to spin, but not having someone on hand to make sure my antique spinning wheel is set up and tensioned properly, and the time (and roving) to work on it, means it remains a project for the future.)
