    she would have a card full and teased she would roll it into long then rolls She had some thread on the pern of the spinning wheel and she fastened the rolls to the thread on the pern She helt the rolls to the pern and worked the spinning wheel with her feet. When she would have the pern full she would take it off and reel it with a reel. When she would have it all reeled she would put it into harks Those harks of wool would be taken to the weaver and anything you would like to get made you could get it done by the weaver.
