Spinning wheel Carder

This spinning wheel, an Ashford Scholar single treadle with 3 bobbins, was donated by Dorothy Smith in 1999.  It has been replaced by two others - pictures and descriptions will be available soon.

The carder is a Louet hand crank model with a medium mesh that works well with most fibers. It was donated by Dorothy Smith in 1999.
Picker Loom

The picker is very heavy but works nicely to open up fleeces and help dislodge vegetable matter. It helps to put raw fleece through the picker before you card it. Thanks to Doris and Doyle Sumwalt, the makers of this picker! The 20" Structo 4 harness table loom was purchased in 1998.

There is also a pair of hand carders and a set of small single combs,
and two small tri looms available.
