These gorgeous old beauties originate from the 1950's.

Made from a strong industrial plastic with steel collars, they were used in the North of England in a weaving mill and hold a wealth of beautiful social stories in their design

Their blemishes and marks of toil and hard wear showcase an era when the textile industry was at the height of it's success.

They make the perfect partners for stitched or mixed media collages, stitch wraps or samplers using a mix of cloth and thread.
