    Old Crafts
    Spinning
    Long ago the old people used to spin their thread with a spinning wheel. We had a spinning wheel in our house years ago. My Grandmother used it , she used to card the wool and make it into rolls as thick as a candle. Then she used to spin it with the spinning wheel into the spindle and make it into thread. She used to roll it into hanks and wash it.
    There was a spinning and weaving mill in Mr Leader's land in Dromach. The owner of it was Mr Crowley.
