The Looms of Rochdale



A slide of of "Old Rosie", the most famous Cross-Weft, triple-ply Overlocking Loom in the world. 

She's been in operation in Ahmed Arkwright's Factory for the past 184 years (apart from a brief 3 year period in Moldova in the 1920s) and is still going strong.

Bonus - The patterns beneath your feet.
