Picardy_Analysis-22
Disassembly of Picardy French Canadian wheel. The flyer whorl, shaft and bobbin appear to be reused from an older wheel. The shaft is bent and needs straightening. The flyer is newer. It shows very light wear. Hooks on one side only. The maidens have been rotated. Wheel once had leather bearings to hold flyer. Saw marks on wheel base and wheel rim are smoothed down, but do not eliminate the saw marks. The leather bearings in wheel uprights need replacement. Wheel shows heavy wear. Built very sturdily. Two ply handspun wool yarn leader below 4 ply commercial worsted on bobbin. The bobbin holder thing base is satin smooth from wear and fits the table hole perfectly. No tension adjustment for wheel band. Unless the missing bearings were used for that. Flyer must jam on. The whorl jams on.
