Cheers....Cher I am still looking for the fulling song and the Spinner/ weavers name who was singing it at the "Praise of Hands Fair, some decades ago in the Toronto Science Center. I could go on line and see if they have records of this Fair at the Science Center. It was a huge event, all about crafts. I have fond memories of it. I also have a set of slides of the huge working drawing loom from China. One weaver sat behind the multe shaft loom and the other sat a whole floor higher in the castle of this loom and manipulated the pattern shafts from above. When the Science Center found out that I had a set of slides they contacted me and we exchange the slides I had done with the ones they had done. I do think that there is only a couple of these loom still being used in China. It is so sat to see this all disappear. Els |

In knitting. B/c it said two heads in one body, meaning knitting, not one head, like in crochet. Neat. Pam-Doggirl3 =A0 A Niddy Noddy is a center piece of wood or dowel, and at each end there is a cross peace of dowling. These two pieces sit opposite to one and other. Now when you have spun a full bobbin on your wheel, you skein it with your niddy noddy. It has two heads but one body, and when you use it, it sort of nids and nods....LOL A Niddy Noddy is used for Skeining. I have a big one, you can find in Keep me Warm One Night. Otto copied it out of that book and each turn is 2 yards in length. I also have a smaller one that colapses so I can take it with me to spinning meets. Els |

I know the shepherts, while to walked over the moores in Holland, alwasy had knitting on the go. They used a beautifully carved knitting stick, that was pused behind there belt. One of the knitting needles was stuck in the end so they only used one hand for knitting. That left one hand free for other tasks. Els |
