  2. Spinning

    Share Share Post
    Spinning industry was carried on in this district in former times and now it is discontinued except in some mountain districts.
    The wool of the sheep was spun into yarn. First the wool has to be carded then made into rolls before it could be spun into yarn
    The spinning wheels were nearly all wood.
    Now the wool is all exported and we have to buy our own yarn.
