A Book of Spinning Wheels

Description

Spinning wheel collectors, antique dealers, and those curious about their family heirlooms will find the photographs and text in this volume very helpful. Joan Whittaker Cummer has provided excellent photographs, careful measurements, and judicious comments about 127 wheels and 48 accessory tools. Studying these photographs is a thrill for anyone interested in textile tools. The wheels themselves are available for study at the Museum of American Textile History in Lowell, Massachusetts.
