Ring Distaff for hand spinners

A lightweight ring distaff that's an inexpensive way to try them out for spinning! Modeled after historical styles, this is an easy way to hold larger quantities of fiber in one hand so that it does not fall into the spinning hand. 

This ring distaff is inspired by a Roman ring distaff that also has a ring at the bottom and a bird at the top. The bird is the perfect shape and size for holding a coil of roving onto the shaft of the distaff. It is lightweight, portable and easy to use with any type of spindle and fiber. This distaff has been laser cut and hand sanded but does not have any type of finish on it, which makes the wool naturally stick better onto the tool.
