|
| | Gabriel & Dennis share a moment. | |
| | | Jill & Anna toured the Knitting Factory Museum in Salhus. | |
|
| | Larger industrial carding machine. | |
| | | Bales of wool (what else?) | |
|
| | Carded wool is processed into roving to spin into yarn. | |
| | | The thin roving is spun on this machine to create a single ply yarn. | |
|
| | Singles are plyed together to make a multi-ply on this plying machine. | |
| | | A closeup of the plying machine. | |
|
| | Teesles brush the nap on a woolen fabric to make it fuzzy & warm. | |
| | | Old floor looms are part of the museum's collection, too. | |
|
| | | The flat knitting machine can knit complex patterns. | |
|
| | Once steam turbine driven belts ran the machines at the factory. | |
| | | Circular knitting machines are useful for wollen undergarments. | |
|
| | While Jill & I are here, the boys & men are on the boat &am... | |
| | | Various sewing & seaming machines used to complete the garments. | |
|
| | On our last day we went for a walk near Nesttun. | |
| | | Boys, water, & stones, a classic combination. | |
|
| | | Dennis likes the water, too. | |
|
| |
| | Someone will fall in; guess who? | |
| |
| | Wow, all three of us in a photo! | |
| | | A group shot with the timer. | |
