   of Cappatagle, aged eighty-six years used weave and make frieze, flannels, blankets, linen sheeting and linen towels by hand looms. Those looms were worked by the feet and by the hands with shuttle and threadels. The threadels were worked by the feet to keep the thread open for to run the shuttle across through the thread with the hand.
   There are two kinds of thread used in the manufacture of flannels, friezes etc, namely; "warp" and "woof". The warp is used on the length and the woof on the breadth. The woof is wound on small quills made of pieces of timber, with holes in the middle of them to twist on a spindle, in order to twist the thread on them.
   Long ago people used to dye frieze and thread for socks. Frieze was dyed with elder branches and bog mud boiled down. Thread for socks was dyed with moss pulled off the rocks and boiled down.
