    When it was well washed it was made into bundles. After about a month in the bundles it was beaten with brittles to break the shells – this was called "pounding the flease." It was then hackled. The hackle was a square piece of board with 12 long spikes. It was palled through the flease.
    The flase was then ready for the spinning wheel. After it was spun it was sent to the weaver to be woven into cloth.
