Belgium and Holland may be grouped together, for in the wheel spinning days these countries were one. 26. Venj Old Dutch Wheel In 1724 a certain Richard Hall' of Dublin, made a tour in the Low Countries, and wrote a book on the methods used there in the linen manufacture. Regarding the spinning wheels he said : " They are much after the same form with ours in Ireland called Dutch wheels, only they are made firmer and the rims heavier. " The heaviness of the rim will be distinctly noticed in thi...s old Dutch wheel (Plate V. ). 27. A . Modern Wheel from Friesland. It will be noticed that in the succeeding examples many of the wheels are of this Dutch type. Holland was the foremost country in Europe in the produc- tion of linen goods, and her spinning wheels were widely copied (Plate V. ). 28. German Wheel from the Ehineland. This is interesting in having a reel attached. In the neighbourhood of the town of Kempen, where this wheel comes from, and in the adjoining villages in Holland just over the border, similar wheels with reels are found ; so far as is known they exist nowhere else.
