> But speaking of spinning it, has anyone here used a distaff?

Gwenneth, when I did flax spinning in an 1850's Living History site (pre-SCA
days), I used a distaff.  I had a pretty easy time with it, but flax pretty
much requires one.

                                                                ---= Morgan
