Forget the cow. Look at the rope walk in the background.
There is someone inside that!
A wintry scene
Weaving
The sheep look neater!
A historical loom?
Spinning
Finished felt hats
Felt slippers
Felt working
Wool working or rope making?
Intricate work here.
Spinning and winding wool
Pressing the felt
Wool awaiting spinning
Knitting?
Yarns ready for weaving
Wool spinning by hand
Shaping the hat
Spinning wool by hand
Weaving or wool spinning, that is the question?
Hand spinning
Felt slippers
Not the neatest but definitely the warmest.
Unwinding the silk strands
Keeping warm with the sheep
Weaving tools in use
Hand spinning with a loom behind ready to use the yarn.
