Most of the women in this locality were able to spin woollen thread for making flannel, frieze, blankets. etc.
Sometimes the wool was carded at home with two small "carders." Other times, especially when there was a large amount to be got through, it was carded into "rolls" at the mill. People knew how to spin in the last generation. There is one woman in this place who has a wheel for spinning woollen thread, and can spin. Her name is Mrs Moran, Ardnagrath, Walderstown, Athlone. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
