Early Medieval Spindle

15,00 

Spindle for spinning wool in the traditional way.

This spindle design was very common during the Medieval Times and it’s based on several exemplars from Birka / Sweden, which was made in the typical conical shape of Viking Age clay spindle whorls. However, the Vikings also used more round-shaped spindle whorls.

The spindle rod is made of carefully polished acacia wood and is tapered. The spindle whorl is attached to the spindle rod from below. There is a notch for the thread at the upper end. The spindle whorl is made from red clay.

The medieval hand spindle has the following dimensions:

Spindle rod approx. 25 x 1.2 cm.

Spinning whorl approx. 4 x 2.5 cm.
