SOAR 2008 Spin0Off Autumn Retreat October 5-12 2008




Closing night at SOAR, here I am spinning on my new Lendrum Saxony wheel. Do I look Happy with the new wheel? Yes, it is true; I'm happily oiling the black walnut wood and sanding every coat. The finish is coming along beautifully.






On Thursday morning we took a two hour bus ride to the Antique Tool Museum. The museum is on a 24 acre sight.
Spinning wheels, looms, natural dye displays and shetland lace knitting displays were setup for us to visit.


Here you see one of our guides spinning on a pendulum wheel.
The loom house on has 6 looms each different in construction and setup for weaving different structures.
