- Spinning and weaving was carried on in this district long ago but not now.
Long ago people used to spin and weave and have their own wool and cotton from flasc.
When they were spinning they got flasc and put it in a river and left it there for twelve days. It is said that the flasc used to kill the fish so then they stopped it. My grandmother used to spin. There is no spinning wheel in the district now.- Collector
