Graveyard Shift - Wool or Cotton?

[Andrew]

I am working on a review for this one and am trying to decide what kind of textile mill is used for the setting.  I believe that it is wool that John Hall loads into the picker.  Does anyone know for certain?  I wish that I had the book to read the story again.  Maybe I should go downstairs and look again, in case I do have a copy.

Well, I don't have the original book to hand, but (if not pulling the wool over our eyes):

Says Bartlett Yarns Inc. (historic functioning yarn mill in Maine)  was the site of filming, which implies wool.


Unsubstantiatedly yours.

They have a website.  Looks like it is the correct mill too.  Check out the picture of their facility.  It is also in the right area, Harmony Maine, since that is listed in the IMDB as a filming location.

Ha, you can even buy yarn from them.  I would suggest avoiding the red or yellow.

I love that movie! Please tell me you'll be including a clip of the "Graveyard Shift Remix" they play over the closing credits "Y'uh!"

Oh, you gotta love the song.  The review is nearly to the point where I need to do the captures and put it to the Proofreaders.  I am fairly proud of how it turned out.  From my view, one of the betters ones I have cranked out.
