I was being given a tour of an old plantation home that was built in the late 1700's and saw this old beauty setting in the corner. After looking at it a few minutes I started to wonder how many different types of clothing was made by this old wheel by the lady's who had owned it over the years. A lady who had ever used one of these to make clothes had to be a really great craft artist with a creative mind and I take my hat off to them for there wonderful work.

Wow this is incredible. By the looks of it everything was spun by hand & I noticed there is a basket of cotton which was commonly used to weave into yarn or thread. A very nice photo with alot of history to go with it. Well done.

Can you imagine sitting there for hours on end, spinning that wool into yarn or thread? Maybe those ladies found it relaxing; I'd find it boring!
Anyway, it's a quaint and colorful and evocative image. Thank you.

We have it made compared to how hard these ladies had to work during the era portrayed here. They certainly do deserve respect and I'm so glad you shared this piece of history with us. a Fantastic photo. Thanks so much.

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares
And again I mention Bannack, Montana, there are still little homes there from the 1800's and I saw a wheel like this too. I love that you took this photo. It sure makes me realize where we are in time, and its a wonderful feeling to know there are people like you who help to keep the old south alive with these photos.

Each day I must take one more step, no matter how small or how large, but I must take the step.
