Double Distaff is a pattern specifically for spindle spinners.

With the Double Distaff you will always have a place for your fiber while spinning so it get caught in your spindle anymore. We´ve all been there!

The pattern is written in a way that allows you to use any yarn you have. It´s perfect for using up handspun leftovers, mini skeins or sample skeins.

You will need:

  • 20 - 25 grams of yarn
  • a knitting needle a bit smaller than you would usually use for your yarn
  • 2 stitch holders
  • tapestry needle

The size is to fit a wrist circumference up to 17 cm, but there´s instructions on how to make it bigger in the pattern as well.
