Description

The Spinning Wheel shop was operated by Clementine Douglas from 1925 until it relocated in 1940. The original log cabin was moved from the mountains to a location in the Beaver Lake area of north Asheville, North Carolina. The cover of this brief catalog is illustrated with the motif of a bonneted woman feeding yarn on to a skein-winder. A black and white photograph on the third page gives an idea of the items available at The Spinning Wheel shop. Linen designs are simple depictions of flowers and initials, with various overshot patterns also available. The pottery was made at the Pisgah Pottery, operated by Walter B. Stephen.
