beautiful-basque-country:Basque woman in traditional clothes spinning before the Irazabal Aundi baserria, Bergara (early 20th century, we guess).Source Since some of you - @auressea & @wikdsushi-v2 especially - in the tags showed your interest in that particular hand spin, here it is:It’s called liñare and as you can see its a stick with a diamond shaped piece on one end where flax was put and then secured with a kind of little hat made of fabric called goru-txapel.The spindle can be seen perfectly in this pic above.Sources: 1 & 2 -- source link
