  1. Clothes Made Locally

    Share Share Post
    There are a lot of clothes made in the home of the district. Jumpers, stockings, socks, berets, coats and hats are knit in the homes. Some people spin the wool and knit the garments. Others buy the yarn and knit the garments.
    Garments that are knit at home are cheaper, warmer and last-longer than read-mades.
    Some people in this district spun wool into yarn and sent it away to get it woven into cloth. Then they got coats made out of it. Men also wear suits of the same kind of cloth.
