Several years ago, I purchased an old 19th century spinning wheel and am working to get it functional.
Wood and fiber just go together. As the daughter of an antique dealer, I of course find antique items interesting. So while I was at SAFF I was very happy to meet Milissa and Alan of Bobbin Boy, who restore old fiber equipment. They have an array of videos at their facebook page and some diy tips for old fiber equipment. Here are some photos. Here is Milissa at an old wool wheel. Wish I had one...
An old adjustable skein winder
This lovely barn loom really caught my eye...
Do read this...most touching
Here is a form of clock reel also known as a "weasel"
Alan will make bobbins for your old wheel...
