This photo from an out-of-print book shows a Mazatec woman spinning brown cotton (coyuche) in San Bartolome Ayautla, a community in the Mazateca Baja region of Oaxaca Mexico. The photo was probably taken in the 1960's, and I don't think that coyuche is grown any longer in this area
It's been a year and a half since my last Spin-o-Rama shot. I love shooting on the Teacups. The results are so cool. I think this is one of my favorites from the spinning Teacup series.
not much of a photo day today. took down Christmas, did some gardening, cooking and walked the dogs. the little pinwheel was hanging out in the yard.. and basically said.. "spin me".
took a couple other shots today too, but this would stood out as being a little wacky and different. represents the day too.
The spinning mule is a machine used to spin cotton and other fibres in the mills of Lancashire and elsewhere. They were used extensively from the late 18th to the early 20th century. Mules were worked in pairs by a minder, with the help of two boys: the little piecer and the big or side piecer. The carriage carried up to 1,320 spindles and could be 150 feet (46 m) long, and would move forward and back a distance of 5 feet (1.5 m) four times a minute It was invented between 1775 and 1779 by Samuel Crompton. The self-acting (automatic) mule was patented by Richard Roberts in 1825. At its peak there were 50,000,000 mule spindles in Lancashire alone.
The spinning mule spins textile fibres into yarn by an intermittent process. In the draw stroke, the roving is pulled through rollers and twisted; on the return it is wrapped onto the spindle. Its rival, the throstle frame or ring frame uses a continuous process, where the roving is drawn, twisted and wrapped in one action. The mule was the most common spinning machine from 1790 until about 1900 and was still used for fine yarns until the early 1980s. In 1890, a typical cotton mill would have over 60 mules, each with 1,320 spindles,which would operate four times a minute for 56 hours a week

These figures were so scarce around my parts... I don't know if it was just a ridiculously limited distribution, or if retail employees were snapping them up before they hit the shelves.

The first thing I thought of was spinning a record. I guess my age is showing! It will really be showing when I tell you that the record on the turntable is one from The Ink Spots. If you don't know them, you are likely younger than 55. 8^)
Here is a music video of one of their biggest hits. A bit stilted by today's standards, but considering it is likely put together about 70 years ago, it stands up pretty well!
