In Skógar Folk Museum one of the old grass-shingled houses was set up as an old workshop. I don't know the exact purpose of this tool, but it has to do something with spinning.
What a terrific closeup of this spinning tool Mia. It has perfect lighting and composition and terrific colors. Excellent post and thanks for sharing this.
All the wonders you seek are within yourself. Always glad to see visitors at My Gallery and thanks for your continued kind words and constant support. Anita
Mia, the subject is extremely interesting. The older I get the more I like old things! On top of that, though, how you shot this is very pleasing. The background is dark and out of the way and the light on the wheel is very appropriate. Well done! - Patty
Yeah same as smoosh..it unravels the sheeps? wool onto the spool, ready for it to be knitted....I suppose it would be hand knitting too!
Nice capture............
Thank you all for your nice comments and feedback - I really appreciate your taking the time!!
I searched Wikipedia for spinning wheels and such stuff, but didn't find anything matching, so I think it is just for winding up the finished wool.
