DIY Spindle Whorls for Handheld Distaff Yarn Spinning
I'm having so much fun with my historical spinning experiments, I thought I should make more DIY spindle whorls to use for my handheld distaff yarn spinning! I'm using polymer clay for this project which is not exactly historically accurate, but the weight and shape of the spindle whorls makes it historically approximate. Join me for this fun spindle spinning experiment and find out which whorl I like best! Let's Get Spinning! Supplies I used Craftsmart polymer clay which is one of the more cost effective clays out there, but any polymer clay will work for this project.
