HAND-SPINNING AND HAND-WEAVING

[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Six,—May I ask, by means of your paper, whether there is any lady—with some independent means—who would care to help in the reorganizing and management of a hand- spinning and hand-weaving centre—which would encourage hand-spinning in • England, and give some stability to such a handicraft ? There would be no salary, but also no working expenses.

A knowledge of hand-weaving and of the qualities of hand- spun thread would be necessary. Also an interest in the practical values of such handicraft in national life. Anyone interested in this work and caring to help could write to me
