Hand spinning with a loom behind ready to use the yarn.
A historical loom?
The pattern is progressing
Silk larva and the cocoon
Balls of newly spun wool
Any ideas what he is doing here?
Inserting a coloured thread
Pressing the felt
Weaving tools in use
Keeping warm with the sheep
It looks a mess whatever it is.
A fiddly job
Forget the cow. Look at the rope walk in the background.
Wool spinning
Not sure who has the warmer coat.
Many threads being drawn into one
Concentration on the job
Gathering something, but what?
Hand spinning
Wool spinning the traditional way.
Wool awaiting spinning
Wool spinning
Soaking the silk cocoons
Weaving
A flock of sheep
