Using a the “Great European Wheel” (see Bobbin Winder) a young girl in Momostenango, spins wool to be woven into blankets. She not only spins but attends school and cares for her brother while working and thus plays an important role in her family’s weaving workshop where the whole family participates in the various processes required for blanket weaving.
