Wooden hanging spindle 250#57

"Crooked spindle is not reliable (will not wear)" - so they said in the old days. Spinning is one of the oldest female crafts on earth. It was the most laborious of all the kinds of work that fell on the shoulders of the peasant woman. Almost five months of the year, from November to March, she spent with the spindle at the spinning wheel. These tools always followed the spinning wheel, they were also a kind of amulets from evil forces and troubles. Spindles are still a good choice for both beginners and experienced spinners. They are cheap, compact and versatile. And knitted things (mittens, socks, shawls) from handmade yarn are especially appreciated. So the history of the spindle continues.
