I think the 'Vytis Cross', Jogaila's Cross, is a similar loom with one beam and a beater-pick. ‡ Jogaila was a pagan. #Lithuania

The off-center axis where the string acts like a fulcrum is the 'tula'.
The string between pinch and tula is the 'pend'.

The best stick for crank-spinning has a few slight bends, and a pointy tip.
For an archaeologist, this is circumstantial evidence a stick was the tool of an expert spinner.
Use jujube, blackthorn, Gambel oak.

If it isn't, then I have discovered the most wonderful way to repurpose an enigmatic ancient artifact to make oodles of beautiful thread.
BTW-- the eight-pointed one works even better.

If your hand-spinning makes yards of cord, not miles, here's a small yet rewarding project.

The spindle is a stick from the back yard.
The fiber is Shetland wool wrapped "barber-pole" to make a puni. 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙚𝙛𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚.
Move the spindle as if reeling in a fish. "Crank" but let slip.
Draft is fehu ᚠ, not algiz ᛉ (delta).

It's mock-Tyrian-purple, a color once made with billions of murex snails.
The mordant was water from soaking black rice.
It's shiny because it's crank-spun using a labrys (pélekys), not drop-spun.

I made a puni with a chopstick. Now I'm spinning it into thread with the same stick. The fiber becomes a slim snake of roving. **happy**

After pulling 'tog', I'm left with 1.5" 'thel'. I wind it onto a stick at a 45° angle.
The puni survives as a no-carders cotton prep style in India. When spun, it spirals, midway between worsted and wool.

If you don't have carders or combs, you can still make roving. That's fleece in a belt or tube shape.
The tool I recommend is a standard chopstick. 1/4" x 8-9"

This is UV hardening 'gel' enamel. It's two layers which, together, resemble amber... or yellow popcorn kernels.
I used the manicure buffing sponge to carefully prepare the nail surface myself.
It's meant to be "natural", not "glamorous".
The whole process only took 27 minutes.

Did you know it's also a source of Vanadium? It lowers cholesterol + acts like Insulin.

Mitochondria aren't your body's only source of ATP. Your red blood cells also make it-- out of Citric Acid.
They donate any excess to any cells in need, at the capillaries. (They can also consume Lactic Acid.)
