une ancienne usine textile - Craye - transformée en musée.
During our holidays in Belgium, we visited a few times too the North of France well known for textile industry. I'm already feeling crazy in a fabric shop so imagine me in a textile museum surrounding by weaving looms. Seeing all those old machines, the threads, yarn bobbins, it's a amusement park for me (wish I could get locked there and use some of them).
With this link, you will have a nice visit with many descriptions I can't give you in English, I'll will only post pictures.

The visit begins with the "home" weaving loom and then all the machines new technologies gave us.
Kind of tapestry there were making.
Very interesting exhibition about clothes is shown here too.
To end the visit an amazing show of the textil school students present creations
which will be the next post I'll write soon.
You do visit some interesting places! Your photos are lovely, I'd like to join you in lock-in too!
