I am linking a great video below showing this! Click to watch it. Basically, a distaff holds your wool so you have it readily available for spinning. Wrap your unspun wool around the distaff and gradually pull it off and spin it. The modern distaff for hand spinning is one you loop around your wrist, which holds the wool in a very easy position to spin.
