- There are no tailors in this district now. Shirts were made in every house long ago. The flax plant was grown by the farmers. At a certain time of the year the farmers pulled the flax plant. Then they made it into small threads. Then thread was made from it. It was then sent to the figheadóir and he made linen cloth from the linen thread. There was a Túirnín lín in every house at that time. The linen cloth was of a brownish colour. Woollen thread was made about eighteen years ago. There is a spinning wheel at John Sullivan's of Upper Ballinagree. People knit stockings at the present day.
