Heavens, that's a mega project
but it will be great to have such a research project specifically into wheel spinning. 5 years though - not sure I'll still be around when it's all written up.
Spinners had to work so hard spinning enough for the weavers - long days, poor light especially in the winter, the need to have a continuous supply of children to card the fibre
and I doubt the spinner had much control of the pay she received. I love spinning on my wheels, but if I
had to do it hour after hour, day after day, year after year, I know I would hate it
