Sauder Village Tour: Weaving Shop

 One of my favorite places is Sauder's Village in Archbold, OH.  

Take with a walk through time in Ohio's largest historic village that captures Ohio life 1803 to 1928. Hear stories shared by historically costumed guides in historic homes and shops, take a ride on the Erie Express train, visit animals in the farmyard and marvel at working craftsmen blending skill and creativity in glass, metal, fiber, wood and clay.

I lost my photos for our last visit to the village :( that I wanted to share with you. So I will be sharing ones weekly from their FB page as they highlight "SauderVillageABC".


W is for Weaving Shop.

When you enter our Weaving Shop, you’ll hear the steady rhythm of the rise and fall of the harnesses, the shuttle being sent back and forth through the warp, and the beater bar being thrown to tighten the weave. All this happens under the careful hands of our skilled weavers who share their insights into this craft as they turn rags into beautiful rugs. 

Watch our weaver at work on the 1862 two-harness barn farm loom — a loom that was found in most homes many years ago. Weaving threads into fabric continues the steps started in the Spinning Shop on the road to making clothing for the family
