I learned that to make cloth from wool, first you cut the wool off the sheep. Then you wash the wool so it's easier to work with. Then you brush the wool with pieces of wood with needles on them. Then you use the spinning weel to turn it into yarn. Then you put it on a reel. Then you change the color by dipping it in dye. Then you put it in a loom. Then you measure the people to get their sizes. Taylor

Wool was used in many clothes. Children helped card the wool. They cut the wool from the sheepand washed it. Last they put it together.

Richard

First the man cut the sheeps hair.The woman washed it really good so it was easy to work with.Next the childern carded the wool and they did this by brushing the wool between two paddles. This  helped to fluff the wool.Then the woman began twisting the spinning wheel to hold the wool into yarn and she would use the spinning wheel to hold the yarn.Next she would put long wool yarn on the reel.Then to change the color of the yarn she had to dye it.She made dyes from nuts, bark, roots, trees and bugs. Then she hung the yarn in the sunshine to dry. MITCHELL

The kids wore no shoes.The girls wore a dress and a bonnet.The boys wore jeans, a white shirt, a straw hat, and a belt.
