Hand spinning with a loom behind ready to use the yarn.

Any ideas what he is doing here?
Spinning and winding wool
Soaking the silk cocoons
A historical loom?
Unravelling the threads
Keeping warm with the sheep
Competing for the woolliest coat.
Wool awaiting spinning
Close up of the spinning process
Felt slippers
Rope making by hand
Weaving
Teasing thread
Balls of newly spun wool
Unwinding the silk strands
He looks warmer than the photographer.
Weaving in progress
A happy weaver
Intricate work
A flock of sheep
Weaver at work
Yarns ready for weaving
Forget the cow. Look at the rope walk in the background.
Yarns dyed ready for weaving
The sheep look neater!
