- Description
- Three wooden hand carders for breaking up locks and unorganized clumps of fibre:(a)(b) two unpainted rectangular wooden paddles (25.0cmx21.0cm wide) with handles. The working face of each paddle is cylindrically curved and has a piece of canvas card cloth attached with metal staples. Small metal cards, called flick cards, are used to flick the ends of a lock of fibre, or to tease out some strands for spinning off. A pair of cards are used to brush the wool between them until the fibres are more or less aligned in the same direction. The aligned fibre is then peeled from the card as a rolag.(c) one wooden hand carder (14.0 x 9.50 cm wide), red in colour, with a handle; the working face of the paddle is cylindrically curved and has a piece of rubber attached and held in place by the edges of a piece of metal covering the the backside and keeping the handle in place. The flick cards coming out of the rubber are metal.

- A very crude home made lace loom. There is a flat board as a base with two square wooden pieces standing at each end, in the corners, with round dowel roller beams between them supported through holes at the centre of each side piece. The front has a narrow board nailed between the two square pieces, and the back has a wire mesh screen panel to act as the reed. An ecru linen thread warp is wound on a back roller, passes through holes in the screen, and is placed in tension (maintained by nails through rollers). The lace, woven with threaded needles, has been wound on a forward roller as it was completed. There are strips of elastic and cotton around the middle of the loom (to help with tension?).
