- Mrs. Delaney, Ballincur in the parish of Kinnitty, in the County Offaly, has a spinning wheel. Her daughter Julia Delaney bought it in Kinnitty about sixteen years ago but she went to America and left it at home. They used to be able to make thread but the cards for winding the thread got broken and they can't make any now.
