Hand spinning with a loom behind ready to use the yarn.
Drawing the silk threads
Spinning
Inserting a thread
All keeping warm in the cold.
Hand spinning
Hand spinning
Wool waiting spinning
Forget the cow. Look at the rope walk in the background.
Yarns ready for weaving
Spinning by hand
The pile is going down
Spinning and winding wool
He looks warmer than the photographer.
A lot of wool to be spun
There is a thread of some sort there.
A silk moth.
