Spindled Stories

  • Lydia Hunt
Spindled Stories is a celebratory system that uses the spindle as a key tool in revitalising our everyday discarded hair, from the hair-brush to spinning it into wool. 
The spindle begins a lifetime ritual of preservation, allowing us to value our hair more when on this cross-cultural device. This spindled hair then can be crafted back into an object that reflects one’s self, with the help of the formula booklet, which can predict how much hair you can spin in a month.
This reusable material has longevity past the head and brings us to ask: 'If you had a lifetime's worth of hair spun into wool, what would you make and why? Who would you pass it down to in your Will'?
