MHBO0014Description
The Great Wheel or Walking Spinning Wheel dates from the 14th century. The spinner walks back and forth to spin wool or linen fibers into a smooth, strong, twisted thread of yarn. This could then be woven, knitted, or crocheted. With the back and forth walking, a woman might walk twenty miles a day.Create Date
