  1. Tweed

    Share Share Post
    In olden times people made lovely tweed from the wool they got from their own sheep. They washed it in a river and put it out to dry and when it was dry they oiled it and carded it and spun it. When they had that done they sent it to the weaver and he wove it into tweed.
