Just a Typical Day at the Wool Mill

Did I mention we (Whit) love sheep and anything that comes from them (i.e. Wool)?

We found a gem here in the Willamette Valley, an old wool mill museum!!!

See the couple next to the street lamp, they were the general audience, Whit and I were the youngest retired couple there.
Whit made me...

These are huge carding machines they use to turn the wool into thread.
Then the carded wool/thread goes to this giant weaver and is turned into fabric (I feel like Mr. Rogers.)


See ya all later, I am just going to be carding wool for the rest of the day!!
