- About forty years ago our grandmothers made their own linen out flax which was planted like the corn crop is now. It was very hard process to get it manufactured. When it was ripe it was pulled blade by blade with the hands and made into sheaves. It was then placed in a big hole of water for eight (are) or night days. It was then (placed in a big hole of water) taken up and spread out to dry. When it was well dried it was put over a fire which they made outside in the open air on a calm day.It was then cloved with cloven tongs they then hackled it. The hackle was a small instrument of iron about two feet square with wires stronger than knitting needles. It was then spun into thread as fine as reel thread with a wheel, which they worked like we work(ed) a foot sewing machine now. Lastly it was taken to the weaver and made into linen shirts, sheets and everything they wanted.Some women sold pieces of linen they got a good price for it and they often paid the rent with the money they got for(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
