Carding and spinning wool in the 1940s, 10/05/1942 (photo)

The photographer is in Ångermanland, more precisely in the village of Näs outside Örnsköldsvik. Here he follows the Karlsten family for a few days and makes a nostalgic time document for future generations. Mrs. Anna Karlsten who is both the housewife but also the farmer's wife and manager. She is the owner of the family company Kornsj?002000540072?00760061ru AB. Here with their daughter Ebba, they card and spin wool for socks, underwear and fabrics. A knowledge that already in 1942 is considered to be almost forgotten. Ebba sits spinning thread at the spinning wheel while her mother uses carders to card the wool. In Europe, the Second World War rages while life goes on as usual in Sweden in 1942. Kristoffersson ref 226-36
