Spindle weighs two ounces.
Historical Background: Please see our Wool Drop Spindle Only for the historical background on drop spindles for wool. Likewise, see our Wool Roving for the historical background on wool roving.
Fun Fact: The use of the distaff by women was very common during Medieval times and the term "distaff side" of one's family became known as the maternal relations of the family. Do you know who your "distaff relatives" are?
