The scissors, chalk, iron, a board for ironing on, a double board and the ruler for drawing the lines. None of the tailors travel around the country to get something to work on. They are paid for their work.Some of the people knit their own socks but they do not weave their own wool at all because it is too hard to weave it and the wool is only sixpence or sevenpence an ounce.
