Homestead Survival Skills. Spinning & Weaving.

At this stage no one can tell for sure if everything will go to hell in a handcart or not, not can we tell how long such a situation would last. But I think most of us are preparing for the worst we can survive & the one that will last longest. With that in mind I present the following information on producing woven textiles. To learn how, you will have to do some more research, but this post will at least get you thinking about it.

Our spinning wheel.

Our Inkle Loom. This one is customised as made & fitted arms to enable longer pieces of weaving. This is mostly used for making straps.


Our Table loom. We did have another larger one than this, but as it was not getting used, my wife sold it.
