Hand spinning with a loom behind ready to use the yarn.
Spinning by hand
A family business. Not many tools in evidence.
Forget the cow. Look at the rope walk in the background.
A historical loom?
Silk being drawn into yarn
Not the neatest but definitely the warmest.
A fiddly job
Pressing the felt
Weaving
Hat moulds
Rope making
Not sure who has the warmer coat.
Intricate work here.
Silk cocoons
A wool winder
Rope making by hand
Felt slippers
Many threads being drawn into one
There is someone inside that!
Full length sheepskin coat
Hat moulds
Drawing silk threads
