“The following is a short account of the weaving 'industry.”
The following is an old account of the weaving industry:-
The weaver had a hand-broom set up in a room of his
cabin. This hand broom was a wooden construction which
consisted, a strong oak bench, resembling a very low
table, on which was erected a large frame about eight
feet high and six feet in breadth, with a centre piece
of wood from top to bottom called the "warp" while a
piece right across from side to side served as a "weft",The beam was set below the weft and on the bottom of
the frame, in a groove, was the shuttle, pedals, or treadle
were set under the bench and connected with the works
of frame by a wooden propeller. The weaver set in the
upright threads on the frame, he then placed a lobbin of
thread in the shuttle, seated himself in front of it, and
placed afoot on each treadle - the section of his feet
regulated the upright threads for shuttle thread.The weaving thus began:- he worked the "beam"
with his hand, which pressed the threads together in
order to keep material close. When the piece was finished
it was ready for washing or drying. Under this process
fine or coarse linen material could be made. Both
the linen and woolen thread which the weaver used
were homespun. The wool being obtained from the sheep
and the linen from spun flax.- Faisnéiseoir
