Morgan - I noticed the message about the Shakers in Portland, Maine. Actually,
they're in Poland Spring, Maine. The address is RR1 Box 640, Poland Spring, ME
04274, and the phone is 207-926-4597. I don't know if they have a collection of
domestic knitt
ing machines and textiles or not. Hope this helps.
