- ... he remembers to see his grand mother making candles.
She had a tin mould large enough to make what we now call a 1/2 lb candle.
Other moulds would be larger or smaller as the people wished.
She then got two or three white woollen threads and twisted them into one and fastened it at top and bottom of the mould with a bit of timber.
In the meantime she had the fat of the cow, sheep, or goat, melted into tallow and white hot she poured in enough to fill the mould.
She then put the mould aside until the tallow got hard, when she removed the pieces of timber fastening the wick she drew the candle out of the mould easily, and she set it aside and proceeded to make another.
In those days the farmers killed a cow, or a sheep to provide meat for the use of the house. In that way she got the fat to make the tallow.
