- (continued from previous page)when working the loom. When the cloth is woven the weaver measures it with a rule called a bandle. For six bandles he used to get 4s 0d. The cloth when woven was called flannel and frieze and also sheets. The shuttle which was used when spinning the wool was shaped like this. [drawing on page] As there was only one weaving-loom in Beare Island long ago every person used to come with the thread to get flannels and other things made and also people used come from the Allihies to get things spun.
