Practically every local historical museum has at least one or more items made of human hair from the Victorian era. There were craftsmen (artists?) who created such items for a living. The Tippecanoe County Historical Association in Lafayette, Indiana has a small round table that was used in the manufacture of hair ornaments, wreaths, etc. Displayed with it is a "how-to" type book which includes a picture of such a weaving table (I'm not sure that is the correct term) being used, as well as a business card for a hair weaver. Small weights or bobbins were used in the process. For more information, contact Dick Stringfellow, Curator of Collections, TCHA, 909 South Street, Lafayette, IN 47901; (317) 742-8411.
