Linen making was carried on as follows in our district. First the flax was pulled; next it was bogged; next it was dried; then it was beetled and scutched. Girls went to one girl's house for the scutching, and the evening it was over the tow of the flax was burnt outside the house as a sign to the lads of the district that the scutching was over, and telling them to come to the dance. Then is twas scutched in the next house in like-manner, and so on. Next it was carded and spun. Next it was brought to the weaver to be woven. It was then brought home and bleached.
