The distaff for the Ashford Minstrel is a traditional spinning accessory that holds prepared fibre upright beside the wheel so you can draft directly from it without stopping. It connects to the Minstrel and keeps your fibre organised and at hand throughout a spinning session.
A Timeless Technique, Modernly Made
Distaffs have been used for centuries to hold flax, combed wool, and other long-staple fibres ready for spinning. Attaching a distaff to your Minstrel lets you work with a continuous supply of fibre in the traditional long-draw style, reducing interruptions and allowing for longer uninterrupted spinning sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What fibres work best with a distaff? Distaffs are particularly well suited to long-staple fibres such as flax, combed top, and long-fibre wools. Short-staple fibres and rolags are usually held in hand or supported differently.
Is the distaff only for the Minstrel? This distaff is designed and sized specifically for the Minstrel wheel. Check compatibility before using it with another model.
