  1. Old Crafts - Spinning-Wheel

    Share Share Post
    My grandmother told me that, the first thing people do when they intend to spin is, to get wool and grease it. They card it into rolls. They get a wheel and go spinning. They take the thread off the spindle and wind it into balls or hanks. They send it to the weaver to weave it into blankets.
