These photos are by Stephen Goudreault, who took them for me in Athens, at the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. The artifacts aren't very thick; they would be poor axes. In the picture on the right, you can see a worn spot. That's where the yarn rubs.

[CRAFT] Making the Pélekys ("Labyris") | Manda Get more from Manda on Patreon

(The .PDF is also posted to my Patreon.) This is how to cut out and assemble the cardstock pélekys ("Labyris"). It's a crank spindle but if you embed a penny on each side, you also get an excellent drop-spindle.
