- Most old women used to make rush candles, or tallow candles. The rush candles were made from a long withered rush, dipped in melted tallow. The tallow candles were made from melted tallow put into a mould. A long cotton wick was placed in the centre. That was left for a while to set, and then the candle was made.
There is still a man in this district who makes ropes. He has a certain spinning wheel for spinning twine into ropes.
Weaving:- Three weavers lived in the townland of Askamore long ago. They used to spin woollen thread and weave it into flannel and frieze. They dyed it different colours and sold it to the local people to make articles of clothing.
Thatching:- A well known thatcher named William Hawkins lived in the locality of Askamore, Parish of Kilrush, Co. Wexford. Most farmers used to employ him to thatch their houses. He used wheaten straw for thatch, and sally scollips.
