Sleeping Beauty DID NOT Prick her Finger on a Spinning Wheel! | A Yarn Spinner Explains

Sleeping Beauty did not prick her finger on a spinning wheel! Historically, flax spinning wheels didn't exist at the time the story was first told. So what did Princess Aurora prick her finger on? It's not what you think! Let's finally get a historically accurate answer this question. It's going to take an actual fairy tale princess to help us discover Sleeping Beauty's true story!

📚 The real story of Sleeping Beauty is actually really awful. In the original, Talia pricks her finger "while spinning flax" on a sliver of the flax itself. She finally wakes up when one of her children (whom she gave birth to while she was still asleep because the king is scum) sucks on her finger and draws out the flax sliver, which finally wakes her up.
