Hand spinning
The face of a man who knows how to keep warm.
Balls of newly spun wool
Hat moulds
The raw material
Gathering something, but what?
Spinning
Yarns ready for weaving
Spinning
Wool awaiting spinning
There is a thread of some sort there.
Hand spinning with a loom behind ready to use the yarn.

Any ideas what he is doing here?
Weaving

Rope making
The pile is going down
Dressed for the weather.

Knitting?
A silk moth.
Hand spinning
Wool spinning the traditional way.
There was a rope walk in the background here.
