Woolen Mills in Almonte

The Snedden family operated a woolen mill in Blakeney, which is where my grandma, Maggie Jane Kerr, lived.  

I visited the Almonte today and went inside the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum.  It is located in the annex of the former Rosamond Woolen Company in Almonte, Ontario.

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is a weaving guild that demonstrates their art.

 

Bobins of wool waiting to be woven into cloth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the inside wall; I liked the texture and colours.

Above the mill is the mill pond which was quite beautiful when I visited.
