Mary Knox of New Zealand and author of New Zealand Spinning Wheels and their Makers has produced a directory on Australian spinning wheels with photos and a bit of history on each maker. It’s still a work in progress, but you are invited to submit additional photos and information to continue development of this wonderful resource.
