Description
This is the collection of Franco's spindles during a weaving demonstration at the Archaeopark. Franco builds archaic looms and knows weaving techniques from around the world. From the Neolithic to the Bronze Age and later they used mostly two fibers, flax and animal wool from sheep and goats. They also used a number of plants, from nettles to the xylem of trees, an inner part of the bark. BTW, nettles give a translucent silky fibre for garnments. And it doesn't 'burn'..... Here he used wool, flax and hemp for the spinning lesson.
Thanks for your kind comments.

just wanted to comment on this for the image itself. The pic is a big street fair of tufts and strings and wonderful tools and shapes, all shoved together for a group shot, teeming with light. A really joyous shot. I can picture a santa claus walking by, looking at the white tufts, and saying: "I'll take three. It's almost Christmas..." Really vital shot, and a lot of fun.
