Falls Yarn Mills and Circular Sock Machine

The old Falls Yarn Mills in Woonsocket, Rhode Island houses Yarnia on the first floor. The store had the first Circular Sock Machine (circa 1915) I have ever seen. The owner Joesph is friendly and helpful, here's a link he gave that has inspired my new fixation: Old Tyme Stockings. The mill is also on the same bend as the The Museum of Work and Culture.
