I was at the National Museum of Ireland today, peering into the display cases of the Viking settlements, among all the corroded bronze swords and axes, when what do I see?

I think of all those women who kept everyone clothed and fed, while the men waged war over their petty grievances.
Amazing how many years garment making has been around!

Have you ever spun wool? I remember enjoying it as a child but producing very lumpy yarn!
