Fibre equipment migrations in full swing

This week has seen a lot of fibre equipment shifting around throughout the Hill Country. Just my part in this was considerable. First of all I facilitated the selling of a spinning wheel with a large amount of associated gear. Plus the same buyer took a motorized drum carder, with three drums! And there were nice Russian paddle combs in the kit too. I had the pleasure of delivering this full truck load from my home town to San Angelo. She maintains a spinner's flock of fibre animals and it was really fun to see the variety. And great to visit with three spinner friends in that city. A great day was had. And just today I returned from a double header. I purchased a used Rio Grande Kit Loom, which is a type of walking loom. It is a loom that was designed by Rachel Brown and Ron Moore in New Mexico. The original owner may have bought it in 1991. And the second owner bought it in '96. Here is what it looked like in the seller's home. In this photo the back warp beam
