“Long ago the spinning wheels were very common in Roxboro.”
Long ago the spinning wheels were very common in Roxboro. First the people would dye the wool. They used to have a certain barn, and they would have a big dying pot in it. It used to take a day to dye it. When it was dyed it was brought to a running stream to be rinshed. It was left three days to dry. They would tease it then and rub sweet oil in to it. Then it was spun and sent to the weaver to get it weaved and thickened. Then the taliors were sent for and they would make black frias coats.
