   First the Sheep were taken to a stream to be washed they were left two or three days to dry the wool on their backs. Then thy were shorn. The wool should be then combed with racks. It was then carded and made in to little rolls. Then it was spun with a spinning wheel and made in to thread. It was then taken to a weaver to make it in to cloth. There was a spinning wheel in my house when my Mother was young but there is not trace of it now. My Mother told me how her Mother used to spin thread.
