History Makers: Lois Swales

If you’re a spinner that uses a spindle, and I bet you’ll enjoy this YouTube video I’m sharing of Lois Swales from the Missing Spindle blog. She has a strong interest in the history of spindles, and I’ve enjoyed learning bits from it her.

A fun, entertaining, and educational video to watch… maybe while you’re spinning.

Enjoy.

    I’m basically going to grow my hair long and plait it like that. Also, her videos are great!

Hi, I’m Sherrill, The 1764 Shepherdess.
I’m a maker based in the Pacific Northwest. With a love of wool, I have hosted spinning and fiber events and now find myself writing to encourage makers to slow down, work with intention, and reconnect with the history of crafting by hand. I look forward to having you join me on this journey!
