Machine demonstrations
Welcome to watch as our machine technician runs some of the machines that have been (and are) used to manufacture cotton and synthetic yarns in Rydal. Our oldest preserved machine is an English carding machine patented in 1891. You will also see several Swiss spinning machines made by Rieter from the mid-1940s. We spin thread on one of them. No pre-booking is necessary: it's drop-in and free entry. Welcome!
