NEW INVENTION
AN INEXPENSIVE SPINNING WHEEL
An .excellent spinning wheel has been invented by the wife of a farmer in the King Country. It is a small attachment to be used on a sewing machine, and costs only 355, whereas a spinning wheel involves an outlay of £6 or more. Miss Millicent Beaumont, of Remuera Road, Auckland, has a machine of this new type. It is fed with locks of wool direct from the unwashed fleece, and in the first operation spins a two-ply thread, the second operation making a four-ply thread. The wool can then easily be washed if desired. , This inexpensive manner of converting a sewing machine into a temporary spinning wheel, would be an invaluable asset to those who are doing an important work in providing wool to be knitted into seamen's seaboot stockings and pullovers, and also to supplement, the limited supplies of wool available for the knitting of comforts for servicemen. ■
