  1. Spinning and Weaving

    Share Share Post
    Long ago, when my grandmother was living she used to spin and weave.
    She got the wool and from it she spun and wove the yarn for knitting. She had a spinning wheel.
    The spinning wheel is still of use and it is in William Smith's house of Oldtown, Muff, Co. Donegal. When she stopped spinning and got old it was take there and is still good as when it was new.
    My grandmother spun and wove for a good many years and knitted the yarn when she had spun it.
