Elderly Irish Woman Crafter At A Spinning Wheel Cutting Board

Old Irish Woman Sitting At A Spinning Wheel is a painting with a nostalgic art and crafts theme. A textile industry theme of fibre being turned to thread. Used by craftspeople for handspun yarns the spinning-wheel is perfect for knitters, crocheters, felters. Used by hobbyists who like to spin their own yarn this spinning wheel art is sure to delight any crafter. Spinning wheels have been superseded by modern machines but artisans use them to turn fibre into yarn: the yarn is then woven as cloth on a loom or used to knit or crochet.
