  1. Old Crafts

    Share Share Post
    At the foot of Corn Hill in County Longford there dwells a man names Joe Casey who never buys clothes because he spins and weaves them all. He has his own sheep and gets wool from them. He spins the wool with a spinning wheel and then puts it on a loom. The loom is like a harrow with teeth like nails.
