Schacht! Can you dig it?

Zoe, Penney and I toured the Schacht Spindle Company in Boulder yesterday, and oh my wow was it cool! We are so blessed to live so close to these guys, and I now have a whole new appreciation for my Matchless wheel.

Where it all begins...

Making treadles...

Julie at the wheel...danger Will Robinson!



sigh

more sigh...their Saxony wheels are just so lovely...

an entire room full of Ladybugs! I've never seen this many in one place before

ever wonder where your lady bugs are hatched? Now you know...

the varnish room, aka the Break Room (well, it would be if I worked there :)

this was my favorite room...just for spinning and weaving and playing with fiber! I had a short love affair with the Matchless double treadle...

and Jane, lovely Patron Saint of Schacht goodness. Thank you so much Jane for taking time out of your day for us!

good times :)
