Osprey Distaff
This distaff, or “wristaff,” was born out of sheer necessity. I’ve been spending more time with spinning, and it’s incredibly helpful to have a tool to keep the roving out of your spun yarn. I played around with a few techniques to make it as seamless as possible.
Update 4/11/13
Someone just pointed out that I didn’t include the stitch abbreviations. I’ll upload a new version including them in the next day or so.
Update 4/14/13
Another kind soul pointed out a mistake in the lace edging. The link will now take you to the corrected pattern. Thanks for the feedback, folks!
