''"I'm delicious! My [[lamb|meat]] can be roasted, stewed, minced and made into pies, fried or boiled. My feet can be used to create [[gelatine]], and my brain can be fried and consumed as well.''<br />
<br />
''My [[wool]] is great for being spun and used in [[knitting]] or making various [[fabric]]s, and my skin is great to sleep on!"''<br />
<br />
''"I am also very popular with [[Viking]]s"''<br />
<br />
The [[sheep]] was a ubiquitous [[animal]] during the [[medieval]] period and was one of the factors that made [[England]] an important nation. It's [[wool]] was used in [[clothing]], [[sail]]making, [[tent]]making, [[felt]]ing amongst others. It's [[meat]] was one of the more common [[meat]]s eaten by [[medieval]] peoples Sheep [[milk]] was also used to make [[cheese]].<br />

The '''Schlagers''' (or '''schlaeger''') used in [[SCA]] [[rapier]] [[combat]] are from the [[Germany|German]] Mensur or "fraternity dueling" developed in the [[18th century]]. Specifically the practice [[weapon]]s from this form. The schlager [[blade]] was originally seized upon as an SCA rapier simulator because it was the only commercially available blade that approached the form and function of a [[period]] rapier. Fortunately this is no longer true, but many people still have Schlagers and some people still buy new ones because they are considered to be less expensive than [[reproduction rapier]]s (in actuality the less expensive reproduction rapier blades can be purchased for the same price OR LESS). <br />
<br />
In many [[groups|areas]] and/or [[kingdom]]s all [[heavy rapier]]s are mistakenly called schlagers due to the history of original use.<br />
<br />
Mensur is a slashing form. The idea is to slash with the blade or tip to draw blood. The schlager blade was designed with this in mind. A schlager maintains a constant width and thickness of the blade once you pass the [[ricasso]], this makes the blade somewhat tip heavy which lends itself to quick slashing movements.<br />
<br />
This blade construction differs from the profile and [[distal taper]] of period rapier blades and the modern [[reproduction rapier]] blades now available.<br />

Modernly called a "drop spindle", in [[period]] a '''whorler''' simply consisted of a pointed, straight shaft (the spindle) inserted into a disk (the whorl).<br />
<br />
Generally the whorl was near the bottom of the shaft, but there are "high-whorl" techniques, where the whorl is actually at the "top" end of the shaft, with the spun [[thread]] wound around the shaft underneath it.<br />
<br />
This is much in contrast with a modern drop spindle which tend to also have a hook at the top end of the shaft - the thread is actually looped over this hook to help keep the holding loop from slipping off the spindle during spinning.<br />
<br />
Also, methods of winding the thread onto the spindle seem to have evolved over time - early spindles all seem to have the thread wound "evenly" up the spindle - so that the lump of wound thread becomes "cigar-shaped". Modern drop-spindle techniques generally have the thread wound near the bottom (actually resting upon the whorl) and the thread forms a general cone-shape.<br />
<br />
Period paintings of spinners often show the spindle being held by the right hand, with a [[distaff]] held under the left arm. In this way, the spinner was able to feed the fibre into the spindle between the two hands.<br />

'''Worsting''' is a [[spinning]] technique that tucks in any loose ends of the [[fibre]]s as they are being spun into [[thread]]. It basically consists of running your fingers over the newly-spun thread as it's still being spun - the soft, "endy bits" thus tucking into the thread neatly.<br />
