Spinning Wheel (Firm : Asheville, N.C.)

Textile crafts -- Appalachian Region, Southern

The original Spinning Wheel shop was operated by Clementine Douglas from 1925 until it was relocated in 1940. The log cabin was moved from the mountains to a location in the Beaver Lake area of north Asheville, North Carolina. The cover of this brochure is printed with an overshot pattern and includes the Spinning Wheel emblem and address information. The inside pages give a brief description and invitation to visit the shop where the "granddaughters of old-time mountain weavers" are at work. There is also mention of an outdoor dye area.
