Thanks for any help.  Toby.

Thanks Bookbox.  Am investigating spinning separately, but please don't apologise for closing for the day. I am very grateful for everything you have done.

The Common Room / Re: Spinning Wheels

They clearly differentiated between the 2 machines and, I think, perhaps goldie61 has the answer. A visit to the most suitable museum might make that clear.
Thanks for all the help. Toby.

Thank you jc26red. That source suggests that spinning is much the same. Odd therefore that a farm in 1617 had two machines , one wheel  for wollen and the other for lenon! T.

Are there experts on board who might be able to answer whether a spinning wheel for linen differed from one used for wool?
Many thanks for any help. Toby.

Thank you for that. Not surprised that it all meant so little to me. Kever, seve, ruder  are not to be found in my usual reference sources.  Wollen & lenon  seem to be fabrics but their connection with a wheel beats my imagination.
Moving on to complete the hall and start in the barn
