  3. Spinning Wheels

    Share Share Post
    Women went "a ceilidhe" carrying their wool, cards and spinning wheels on their shoulders. There would be seven or eight girls spinning in a certain house tonight and in another house to-morrow night. There would be one rush candle in the middle of the floor to give them light.
    Compare a similar custom in Glencolumbkill, Co Donegal.
