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

A historical loom?
Spinning
Competing for the woolliest coat.
Knitting?
Finished felt hats
Full length sheepskin coat
Intricate work
Teasing thread
A lot of wool to be spun
Hat moulds
Shaping the hat
Yarns dyed ready for weaving
Drawing silk into skeins
Not the neatest but definitely the warmest.
