While checking the web site of Loom N Essence I found the new Free Standing Distaff made by Willard Taylor in the Bay Area.
Normally I get to see Will's newest work when I visit Spinning at The Winery where over 100 Spinners meet to Spin for the day among a few great Vendors. This year I won't make it so here is a photo I picked up at Loom N Essence of Will's newest creation.
Sharon Poplawski writes,
"Will designed this free -standing distaff with all the needs of the spinner in mind. Notice the clay pot (for adding water) which is strategically positioned for your ease and comfort. Mobility - spinners no longer need to worry about how to affix their distaff to their wheels, just place your free standing distaff where you feel most comfortable. Topping off the design is the striking reed distaff basket. As a fellow spinner, you immediately recognize Will's quality woodworking but add to that is your appreciation of his total attention to detail. Available in oak, cherry, walnut."
