Keynote Lecture: Historic Spinning Wheels
About Keynote Lecture: Historic Spinning Wheels
The spinning wheel is an ancient invention used to produce yarn from various fiber sources. Around the world, spinning wheels have been made in different shapes, sizes, and styles. The ingenuity, craftsmanship, and mechanism behind antique and vintage spinning wheels have left a long-lasting impact on handspinners for many years. Join us as we take a look into the history and innovation behind the spinning wheels in Heavenly’s personal collection. She will provide insight into their different styles, functionality, and also share the types of yarns which can be produced on them.
