Old vintage wooden spinning wheels and other tools. Our grannies and great grannies used such things to spin yarn.

Old shuttles for weaving on a loom with bobbins inside. Most often, they were wooden or wooden with metal elements, like the metal points on these ones. After years of working with such shuttles, they became smooth as baby’s bottom))

Cute basket of weaver. You can see wool fleece, different yarn, and 3 spindles with clay whorls. The spindles and whorls are modern reconstructions of spinning tools from Kyivan Rus’, the 12th-13th century.
