This novel Lazy Kate is designed and crafted by Willard Taylor. You can contact him at campbelltaylor@earthlink.net. He also makes a distaff that sits in the center. This lazy kate is made from walnut, bobinga and maple. It is not only beautifully made, it is incredibly functional. It accomodates very large and very small bobbins. My favorite tool for plying and warping my inkle loom. | ||
