I was surfing around and found this wonderfully delightful snippet of a short film about 4 minutes long, showing how the makers of textiles performed their work before machines, and how Danish artisans, and I am sure others the world over, create textiles by hand today.

Thank you Lissa Hall.

 

Enjoy

 

 

Wow...what patience. True artisans.

Thanks John.

Thanks for the great video. My family have been in the textile business for years. I had a textile machine shop and made many textil machine that got sold around the world. I have and collect some very old lamb knitters in my collection.
