Hand spinning with a loom behind ready to use the yarn.
Knitting
Unravelling the threads
Competing for the woolliest coat.
Intricate work here.
Wool spinning by hand
Rope making by hand
Gathering something, but what?
Balls of newly spun wool
The pattern is progressing
Concentration!
Dressed for the weather.
A wintry scene
Weaver at work
wool spinning
A sheepskin collar and coat
Spinning and winding wool
The sheep look neater!
Close up of the spinning process
Silk being drawn into yarn
A fiddly job
Wool spinning
A wool winder
Rope making
Wool spinning
Wool awaiting spinning
Keeping warm with the sheep
Forget the cow. Look at the rope walk in the background.
