Congratulations on your Great Wheel...Great article.<br />Congratulations on your Great Wheel!<br />We had two great wheels but I traded one for new period clothing garments for my wife (we reenact), so now we're down to one.<br />Can you tell me when Great Wheels went out of favor? I was told they were pretty much dinosaurs by 1840.<br />Thanks.Historical Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979801752112100293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-90796979826053315052016-09-20T16:27:40.625-04:002016-09-20T16:27:40.625-04:00Hooray for your excellent find!

We did everything but shear the sheep. One of my classmates mother took the yarn we made and knitted a hat for our balding teacher. Andrea Stephensnoreply@blogger.com
