The old people when they clippled the wool from the sheep took it and put sweet oil in it and teased it with their hands. Then they took their cards and carded this wool and made it into long rolls. They got their spinning wheel and spun those rolls into thread. Then they made hanks of this and had it cleaned. They also gathered some moss off the stones and boiled it and coloured this yarn with it. They would send some of it to the weavers and have it woven into flannel for home use. They also knitted socks and stockings.
