Felt hat making
The pile is going down
Competing for the woolliest coat.

A lot of wool to be spun
Dressed for the weather.

Wool waiting spinning
A wool carder
Spinning wool by hand

Felt slippers
Hand spinning
A historical loom?
Drawing silk into skeins
Wool half spun
Wool spinning
Wool spinning the traditional way.
Concentration on the job
Hand spinning with a loom behind ready to use the yarn.
Wool spinning
Close up of the spinning process
It looks a mess whatever it is.
