One of my favourite spinning/yarn facts. Almost all of your ancestors could spin. There was a tiny fragment of Neanderthal yarn/twine found in France. It's made from the bast from tree bark...... It's at least 40,000 years old.... It's bloody three ply lace weight yarn. I doubt ANY modern spinner could pull that off, even with all our gadgets and knowledge. https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/04/neanderthals-made-the-worlds-oldest-thread/ #handspinning #yarn #knitting #crochet #weaving
