Bobbin Boy...SAFF part two

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...

SAFF 2015 part one

Dear friend J and I had a lovely SAFF weekend...

here are some photos...

first up an enlightening course on making yarns for fractal spinning...Esther Rodgers inspired me to actually try to use my acquired drum carder...

Of course I forgot to bring my wheel. The woman sitting next to me just "happened" to have an extra Kromski in her car...many thanks to Cindy!

Of course, her are some sheepy kisses
