My drying rack

This is the rack Chuck built me right after we moved to this farm.  We had several aluminum window screens from the old farmhouse, so he built a wooden frame for them to slide into.  There are 14 screens about 4" apart, so it dries a lot of wool in a fairly small space.  Its full of BFL wool that I washed last night.  These nice dry late summer days are perfect for drying.
