RETURN TO HANDCRAFT
Small scale machinery for carding and spinning wool in rural EnglantL bridges the gap between the ancient spinning wheel and the giant plant used lor mass production by the bigcloth mills. The villager is thus provided with a means of preparing his wool quickly. He and his family cater for a luxury market, as theirs is handcraft work reflecting individuality in method and design and commanding the highest prices because it is not mass produced. Begun by a group of young men as a social movement in Britain, a prosperous little colony is to-»day at work in Shakespeare’s native town of Stratford-on-Avon, to which orders for the machinery are ndw coming in from many parts of the world.
