Family Living Center In Nauvoo
The group learning how to make wool and linen.
This spinner has a part in it called a weasel
and when it is full of yarn it will make a popping sound
which is what brings the phrase
"pop goes the weasel". :)
You learn something new everyday.
different plants brought different dyes
and these showed some of them.
This was their version of a toaster.
they used to cook with.
The item in the middle was their
version of a popcorn maker.
