Spin like you're Medieval

- Spinning in the English Middle Ages, using spindle and distaff dressed with wool. Spindles available at missingspindle.etsy.com. Spinster uses small spindles, such as re-creations of the Coppergate (York England) archaeological finds and spindles inspired by the Luttrell Psalter and the Decretals of Gregory IX manuscripts. The use of a round 'cop' is displayed. Happy Spinning!!! Lois Swales
Early into my own spinning journey I learned a LOT from this amazing lady!!!
Thank you for your videos. Now I can try spinning. I am going to try a dealgan. You are so cool!
I realize more explanatory videos are needed. Those planned are "Spin like you're Scottish" early this Fall, and I'm working on some shorter videos connected with my Blog that will cover more technical details about using various Distaffs (Distaves) as well as a couple on long draw, half yarn and preparation of wool for both Great Wheel spinning and wool mounted on the distaff. I plan to provide information on what I learned from Edna Blackburn in Canada on the precise way to use wool cards for the long draw as well. I listen closely to all comments about what is needed to best experience Viking, Medieval and Early Modern spinning experiences. The videos take time, and I always seem to need a costume for, well, fun!
Lois Swales I can hardly wait for your next video! Keep up the great work! =)
Cool. What is your blog? Can you say here?
Btw I wont see you at Pennsic this year if you're going as I am dealing with an achilles tendon injury. Next year hopefully.

Thanks for such an informative video.
Love your style.
Hope we do see more from you.
Take care & stay safe.
My Dear lovely Lady, I love your Video's, You mentioned about making your own spindleI's. I love the spindle you say is your favorite in the video Spin like a Viking.
Thank you for a most informative and amusing videos.
I'll be making more once I catch up with those Dealgan's!!! I didn't realize how many spinsters descended from the Scots! - Lois
you are so incredibly lovely - and so clever thankyou so much for this information Please dont stop its incredible I love to learn
This video is so interesting. I want to thank the maker of the video and the star of the video for making it. Thank you you guys did a super job👍
Very cute ending, I really enjoyed watching this, I've been spinning since 2008. I've spun many different sheep breeds and other non wool fibers on my top whirl spindles, but I've yet to get a wheel 🤗💝🌷
Those are so cool, I honestly really want to make one
Hey, great, thanks a lot. Another great video. What they could do with just a minimum of technology... oh my! And there's us, worrying about the must-haves, this spindle, that comb.....
Thanks for the informative videos.
in love with the braids
I just discovered your videos and am loving them. This one especially caught my eye. I live a few miles from York city and this looks like it's a little section of the York wall. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you.
I love that this wall looks like one in York! This video was recorded in Rochester New
YORK, USA in a beautiful sunken garden. Sunken helped a lot to reduce background noise. Loved the birds. So nice to hear from you!
How interesting that you can have a spindle that you can alternate between top and bottom spinning. I thought you had to choose. Can anyone recommend a method for ones that beginning level students can make and use?
Me gusta las ruecas ... qué bonitas... Es estilo vikingos....
I absolutely love your vids! More please! Hey could you do some on various ways to card fiber as well?
I belong to the SCA (SCA.org) and first got my interest in learning to spin there. My one grandma spun, but she died 3 years before I was born so I couldn't learn from her. None of her daughters wanted to learn so it would have died out in my family if I didn't learn. I have a Babe's fiber starter and several drop spindles (all bottom whorls). I find the wheel much easier to use, because the 'drop' in the drop spindle lives up to it's name with me... I tend to spin lace weight (or as close as I can get).
Is your dress about 12 century? In the SCA I'm about lesser nobility at about the time period between Henry the VIII and Elizabeth the I. So many yards of cloth on your body, and in Arizona no less.

Dear Phantom, My dress is vaguely 1300's - the underdress is earlier. I am not a 'garb laurel', to put that mildly. It is funny how DNA cannot be denied - as in your inherited fiber tendencies from your Granny. I think it is very important to bring history forward by using old tools and techniques. Mankind has had its ups and downs and knowing how to make cloth should not be forgotten IMHO! Thanks for telling me about you. - Rhiannon
Lois Swales Both of my Grandmas sewed, knitted, and crocheted. My Dad's Mom also tatted and spun. I sew, spin, and use a knitting loom. I used to be able to crochet, but have forgotten most of it. Both my Mom and my Dad's sisters couldn't be bothered to learn, stating it was 'too old fashioned'. I'm by no mean a master seamstress, but I do sort of okay. What seems to be my main issue are fitting problems. My Dad was the one that taught me the basics on a sewing machine believe it or not.
Once I get back to work after I pass my Medical Billing and Coding state certification testing and get some money going (and hopefully move), I may take some classes on advanced sewing. And I'll be happy to learn to knit and crochet too. I'd like to get the ('how much do you want for it?!? Le gasp!') computer program that after adding your measurements it pops out a perfectly fitted pattern.
Where do you find your replicas?
Hello how do you obtain this blue colour?
Maravilhoso!🇧🇷🌷
She's right, it has been too long. :D
