This site's exposition
And all the women that were wise hearted did spin
on Exodus 35:25-26
The women's work is recorded twice and by its craft, spinning the blue and purple and scarlet and fine linen, then spinning goats' hair. Those are the two innermost coverings of chapter 26, the linen curtains worked with cherubims and the tent of goats' hair laid over them, so the fabric of the dwelling place came off their distaffs. The same wise hearted that verse 10 used of the workmen is used of them.

spun the goat hair
Matthew Henry notes that goat hair was coarse work beside the dyed yarn, yet the women who spun it are credited with wisdom in the same terms as the rest. Adam Clarke says the spinning needed only a plain distaff.
