  1. Folklore - Spinning

    Share Share Post
    Long ago when the peoples cloths were made at home from homespun. When sheep were shorn the wool was cleaned and oiled. It was then carded and made into rools and a number of woman collected it in each house to spin it. When spun it was taken to the weavers to be manufactured into flannel or frieze.
