- The people long ago used to make candles. This is how they used to make them. The tallow used to be melted, put into a mould, and then a thread put through it.
Baskets used to be made with rods.
Sugans are made with straw or hay and woven with a twisting-bow.
A rick of hay is thatched with rushes.
