Hand spinning with a loom behind ready to use the yarn.
Concentration on the job
Yarns ready for weaving
Intricate work here.
Not the neatest but definitely the warmest.

Silk cocoons
Unravelling the threads
Making a felt hat

Spinning
A wool winder
Drawing silk threads
Rope making the hard way

Wool spinning the traditional way.
The face of a man who knows how to keep warm.
Forget the cow. Look at the rope walk in the background.
There is someone inside that!
