ART OF SPINNING AND WEAVING

Taken in the unsupressed Colonial rooms of the museum of fine arts and under the expert supervision of the museum curators. "Operating flax and wool spinning wheels, clock reel, and noddy-noddy skein winder. Weaving processes on simple tape loom and on common hand loom. Arranging warp, setting up loom, preparing weft on bobbin." California. "Schools and individuals working on handicrafts will find this pictorially pleasing as well as instructive. Women in costume of Colonial days, spinning, doing all types of carding, spinning and weaving woolen and linen items, and weaving for producing background of domestic history is well presented. School and groups interested in the subject will find the action is slow by much worthwhile, as the action is slow and undramatic. Good footage on difference between linen and wool spinning wheels which are something difficult to find." 16mm reviewing committee. "Excellent for technique." Newark.
