  2. Old Crafts - Thatching

    Share Share Post
    There are a lot of men in my district who know how to thatch. First they get straw or rushes and rods and they cut them small and point their tops so that they will stick in the thatch. Some men are good thatchers and others are not. Every man thatches for himself.
