Wales and Wool Museum

Last weekend I went to stay with a friend who lives on the edge of the Black Mountain up from Swansea. Above is a view from her kitchen window, it was a bit misty - sometimes red kites fly past. We visited the National Wool Museum of Wales which was very interesting, showing the whole process from fleece to finished blanket or garment.

The picture above is part of the collection of Welsh blankets.



Here you can see the edge of a spinning machine and some of the cones that have been spun



A collection of spinning wheels



This castle was in a town near the museum.
