- Long ago they made candles out of rushes they pealed them and then left them to dry for a few days then they dipped them in tallow. They had a wooden candle stick to hold them while lighting. Baskets were made from rods boiled and pealed. Long ago the old people used to make them an sell them in the market. Long ago the people used to do their own spinning. They used to make big balls of the thread.
