    There was a man over in Faha named Madden who used to weave. There was another below in Feakle near Toe Lanny's named Hugh Madden. there was another further down the Lulloo.
    They used to weave the flax into big sheets and then make shirts and sheets and blankets and towls and dresses. and used to colour some of them.
