  1. Old Crafts - Weaving

    Share Share Post
    Weaving was a great trade in Cloyne some years ago. Michael Hennessy Spittal Street was a weaver. He bought wool from the farmers. He made flannel waistcoats and blankets. The farmers wore the waistcoats when working on the land. These blankets were very good and he got a great demand for them. This man was also a dyer.
