- Longago the people had molds. They put a wick in the mold and then poared melted tallow into it. Another way they made candles was, they pulled rushes dried them and skined them. Then they steeped them in melted fat then they twisted them (file) like a rope.
The people used to cut the sally rods and weave them together made baskets. Longago the black smiths made ploughs and spades.
Longago the people spun their own thread. At first they oiled the wool and carded it them they spun it.- Collector
