- Old crafts. Spinning.
In olden times the women were very fond of spinning. Firs they clipped the wool off the sheep with shears. It was then greased with melted butter after which it was carded with: "cards".
Cards were wooden implements with wire teeth in them used for straightening the fibers.
The wool was taken from the cards and rolls by rolling it on the back of one of the cards.
This done it was spun into thread by means of a spinning wheel. A spinning-wheel consisted of a wheel with about twelve spokes, a foot stool which had a leather belt running from it to the wheel.
When the foot-stool was being moved the wheel turned also. Other parts of the spinning-wheel were the hack and [?]
The hack is made of wood with wire teeth in it through which the thread goes and rolls on the [?]
When the thread [?] was full the thread was taken off and rolled into a ball.
After this the threads were doubled and twisted together on the same wheel. It was then taken off and was made into hanks. Then it was washed and dried and sent to the weaver, and made into cloth as desired.
