Each one is a unique, practical work of art to me. Here in the Portland, Oregon, area there is a Pendleton Woolen Mill outlet that I have visited a few times. One time I saw a basket of bobbins that they were selling, and I bought two that remind me of candlesticks. I have them sitting on the windowsill and enjoy looking at them. Imagine how they whirled and spun creating cloth! My dad worked in a woolen mill in Lawrence, Massachusetts, more than 75 years ago, I think. He supervised one of the drum carders. xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542147042521831239.post-85035376504444852342016-06-20T14:39:23.657-07:002016-06-20T14:39:23.657-07:00Amazing collection!
