Description

Reprinted by popular demand, this study of Canadian spinning wheels in the collection of the Canadian Museum of Civilization, demonstrates their broad variation by period, region and manufacturer. The discussion focuses on the wheel-driven spindle but also includes the very popular hand-driven spindle. Both Aboriginal and European spinning traditions are described.
