Italy - Tuscany - Stia Wool Museum - Loom abstract_DSC8799
My Website : Twitter : Facebook : Instagram : Photocrowd
Abstract created by photographing the warp and weft of thread on a loom with a shallow depth of field. I don't normally take shots like this but I rather like it......
On our first full day in the Casentino hills east of Florence having spent the morning visiting the town of Poppi the weather took a turn for the worse.
When it was suggested that we visit the Wool Museum ( Il Museo dell’Arte della Lana ) in the town of Stia I must admit I was sceptical. It turned out to be a great place to spend a couple of hours on a slightly rainy afternoon.

From www.visittuscany.com/en/attractions/wool-museum-stia : "In the Casentino, you can explore the culture and tradition of wool-making.
The Wool Museum is located in Stia, in the Casentino, housed in the former Lanificio, or wool mill, an example of industrial archeology that was renovated as a centre for textile culture.
The exhibition route showcases historic photos, fabric samples, objects with particular symbolic value, like the bell that marked the work day, the banner of the workers’ association and the Italian flag made at the wool mill during the Savoy era, and vintage clothing pieces made from the Casentino panno.
Visiting the museum is a genuine sensory experience, where you can explore and physically touch the art of wool-making, from the earliest days of civilization to the Industrial Revolution and the golden age of Stia’s wool mill."
