Paisley Shawls
In one of the rooms at the museums, there was a fine exhibit of Paisley Shawls (as one might imagine). The earliest examples were from around 1800.
Sheesh! that's one scary looking loom!!
ReplyDeleteWowzers! Did you go dress up in the play-room? I love that bit about how well-read and argumentative they were! There's gotta be some great stories in that!!!
