Miss 8 just surprised me with this. I’m a little teary. It’s me at my spinning wheel. She only started felting yesterday and then made this and ugh… I love this kid so much.

Researchers find 3,500-year-old loom that reveals key aspects of textile revolution in the #BronzeAge
The finding, published in an article in the journal #Antiquity, preserves most of the weights as well as components made from wood and plant fibers
Researchers find 3,500-year-old loom that reveals key aspects of textile revolution in the Bronze Age

Running out of fluff to spin right before I need to go to school pickup seems very fortuitous. In the other hand I need to card more floof #handspinning #fibreprep
