Hand spinning with a loom behind ready to use the yarn.
Spinning
Rope making by hand
Forget the cow. Look at the rope walk in the background.
Yarns ready for weaving
Spinning and winding wool
Drawing silk into skeins
Intricate work
Soaking the silk cocoons
Spinning
Finished felt hats
A wintry scene
The pattern is progressing
Shaping the hat
Wool spinning
All keeping warm in the cold.
Weaving in progress
A happy weaver
Concentration on the job
A wool winder
Many threads being drawn into one
Yarns ready for weaving
A flock of sheep
A fiddly job
Spinning wool by hand
