Hawes part two...still looking for string at the museum

Warning, photo heavy post, I was having fun taking pics of a braid weaving loom and a Weavemaster.

            Firstly the braid loom, reminded me of the inkle braids that I make from time to time.

Now the Weavemaster, I once nearly bought one of these at a carboot sale whilst in Yorkshire. It would have needed a lot of work but for £20.00 it was worth chancing it but then I came to my senses and realised that there was no way it would fit on the back of our motorcycle along with all the camping gear :-)

Also featured at the museum were locally made quilts

rag rugs

a wonderful millennium wall hanging

and an embroidered sheep

and I almost missed the sampler hanging at the end, similar age to the one I purchased in Scotland, I have no intention of collecting old samplers !! Fortunately this was an exhibit and not for sale.
