    Weaving was a common Industry in this district long ago.
    When people sheared their Sheep they made thread from the wool. This was done by means of spinning Wheels. These were kept in every house almost. When the thread was made they dyed it with Alder berries and other plants.
    Next they Sent it on to the Weaver. The weaver in this district was James O'Grady of Boolatin.
