I’ve now dug into the spinning part of my Spindling for Weaving project. This is the longest portion of the experiment, so I’ll check back in once I’m mostly finished with this part and talk about the next phase of the experiment.

In this next update on the Spindling for Weaving project, I talk about how imprecise it is to actually design an experiment and what my process is, and I showcase some of my chalk spindle whorls made from Iron Age originals.

In this first public update, I talk about an exciting hand spinning project I will be working on throughout 2025 (with a publication slated for late 2025/early 2026). I’m so happy to be working on another experiment again!
