  1. Old Crafts - A Spinning Wheel

    Share Share Post
    My Grandmother has a spinning wheel. She still uses it for spinning wool to make stockings. The spinning wheel is like a long seat with two posts standing out of it, and the wheel hangs in between the posts. They put the thread on a spindle and it comes out at one side of the wheel.
