- Flax was grown by every farmer. It was pulled with the hands and put in to a hole of water, completely covered with sods, and left there for three weeks. When taken out, it was spread on the ground to dry but was never turned. when bleached it was gathered in bundles and put on the cross beams over the fire to further dry itNext it was put on a large flat stone and hammered and pounded with a tuairgín till the hulls or outer scales were burst. There was generally a meitheal employed for the poundingA cloven tongs was then used for scraping away the hulls. This tongs was timber. A hackle was then used for combing out the finer flax. The hackle had teeth for the purpose.Then when the flax was ready for spinning, a spinning wheel worked with the leg was used. All the spinning was done at home.(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
