I had a friend who, as a school project, helped shear a sheep, carded & spun the wool, dyed it with natural dyes, wove it, and made a coat out of it. I envy her to no end!
We had a spinning wheel in our building that flooded last year. Even though I offered to dry it out and shellac it or do whatever it took to save it, my brother told the salgavers to dump it. He almost went out with the ruined items! It was in our family for over 150 years.
On another note, I was at two different craft stores last weekend and couldn't find one stinking embroidery hoop! I'm trying a third tomorrow, but after that, I'll have to order one online. I remember when we had dozens of them. I never realized this, but my mother has squirreled away a sampler I've done every 5-6 years. This could make an interesting display or pillow set!
