Forget the cow. Look at the rope walk in the background.
Silk being drawn into yarn
Knitting
Shaping the hat
Weaving
Knitting?
Competing for the woolliest coat.
Wool waiting spinning
A wintry scene
Felt slippers
Soaking the silk cocoons
Gathering something, but what?
Unravelling the threads
Hand spinning with a loom behind ready to use the yarn.
A historical loom?
Spinning
Spinning wool by hand
A family business. Not many tools in evidence.
Rope making the hard way
Concentration!
