         And did you used to weave?


         Well, yes, I wove. How [could I not]?


         Ah.


         We weave, we knit –


         Do you still weave?


         I still [do].


         Yes? And on what?


         On a loom.


         On a loom. How – is it big? Tell me what the loom is like? What are its parts?


         Well [yes], it’s big.


         Ah?


         [There’s] the heddle,


         Ah?


         the battens,


         Ah?


         and the foot pedals. And you weave!


         Well, but tell me [how], since I’ve never seen.


         Well, my loom isn’t set up. If you’d come last year, [when]


         the loom was ready [to go], I could have gone in [the house] …


         Ah?


         … to show [it] to you.


         So tell me. (answer shows confusion of “tell” and “show” in dialect meanings)


         But my loom isn’t set up now.


         Uh huh.


         I’ll be setting it up later.


         Uh huh, uh huh.


         Now when we finish the picking, I’ll set up the loom,


         and I’ll weave. We’ll go and we’ll card the wool,


         Mm.


         They’ll spin it. They do the spinning there.


         I used to spin it all here in years past but now


         my shoulders hurt, and now ...


         Hm.


         ... we’ll spin it on the carders.


         Mmhm, mmhm.


         And then we’ll bring it here


         Uh huh.


         and weave it up, so as to have fabric. [laughter]


         [laughter]. And the wool?


         We’re carding it now.


         From the sheep.


         We washed it in the spring, and –


         Explain to her how you card, and how –


         how you spin, how you tie [the wool] onto the distaff –


         Not on the distaff!


         Everything!


         [I use] a spinning wheel now. A spinning wheel already!


         Explain it to her. Explain to her how it used to be for you.


         Both the old and the new. Explain everything to her!


         Not now, but earlier – the spindle on your knee, whirr!


         And I’ll make the thread [that way].


         Yes?


         I’ll twirl the spindle, and I’ll make it [like that].


         But now [I put it] on the spinning wheel. It revolves and gives out [thread]


         Yeah.


         and it spins onto spools. It spins onto spools, and you’ll twist it


         as needed, as a single thread if you’re weaving a flat-weave rug,


         Ah.


         [or] as a double thread if you’re weaving a quilt.


         You’ll wind it up and beat it,


         Mmhm.


         and then you’ll dye it, whatever [color] you want, if it’s white –


         And do you do the dyeing?


         Well, yes! I do.


         Mm.


         If you want, come to the house to see what things I’ve woven.


         Well, I [would like] to see [them].


         [unintelligible] [laughter]


         [laughter]


         Well, let’s go!


         Really?


         I have lots of woven things, we have things woven as girls.


         Yes, yes, yes, yes. But where do you get your dyes from?


         From gypsy women.


         Is that right? And in the old days did they make them from herbs?


         Earlier, from the store.


         Only from the store.


         We used to buy them from the store.


         I haven’t made [any] from herbs.


         Hm.


         But now we sometimes make dyes from walnuts.


         Uh huh?


         We make dyes from walnuts, we make dyes from stones –


         Hah!


         We pick lichens off of stones, and boil them up. We boil [them], and


         then we soak the yarn [in it] and you should see what a pretty color it gives!


         Surely it’s very pretty.


         Have you seen it?


         I’ve seen [it] in pictures.


         Ah.


         In real life –


         Ah.


         in real life, it’s [much] nicer.


         [Much] nicer. [Colors] from lichens, …


         Ah, [yes].


         … from walnuts. We’d make those dyes. Otherwise we buy colors


         from the store, and we buy them from gypsy women.


         Hm, hm.


         And there it is.


         And do you have a lot of sheep?


         Now I have quite a few little sheep. I’ve got twenty sheep.


         Aha.


         But we don’t have – we’ve [only] got a little hay, and we have to buy fodder –


         we spent all our money …


         Mm.


         … on fodder, …


         Mm.


         … and we’re not going to be able to get [them] through [the winter], …


         And –


         … so we’re thinking of giving the sheep away – we’ll get rid of them.


         Tsk. And in the old days were there more sheep?


         Back then there were more. Now the cooperative farm people came,


         [and] they belonged to somebody else.


         Aha!


         But in the old days we had even fewer.


         Now we’ve gathered up these few but we can’t keep them.


         And (besides) we’ve gotten old.


         Hm.


         We can’t take on all the trouble to run after them.


         Tsk. Yes. So when do you shear sheep? When –


         What time [of year]?


         Well, in the spring. We shear [them] around Mayday.


         Mm?


         The sheep are shorn from Mayday on, [starting] around Mayday.


         When we begin to do the churning, at that point.


         Mmhm.


         Mayday.


         And how do you shear [them]?


         Well, you knock it down!


         [and] hold [it] –


         You knock it down, and tie its legs


         Uh huh?


         Two [that is,] four legs, like this –


         ah,


         You tie them like this –


         Ah.


         You tie up all four legs like this …


         Uh huh.


         … here, with a rope –


         Uh huh.


         And you throw it down and it’ll sit there quietly.


         And you [do it] with – with shears


         With shears.


         … you shear [it].


         Will it sit there quietly?


         [Of course] it will, since it’s tied down!


         Well, yes –


         Where’s it going to go?


         What –


         Its legs are tied!


         What else can it do?!


         What’s it going to do [indeed]. So now, tied up, it sits there, you shear it,


         and then we wash the wool


         Ah.


         There wasn’t water [here so] we went up into the mountain woods


         to wash it. [Way] up there.


         Really?


         We were up there now, this spring. We loaded up a cauldron and a trough –


         we loaded up everything, the wool in bags, and then


         I washed it up there in the mountain woods. My daughters came with me


         and helped me. We washed it, and rested and had lunch in the cool shade.


         Ah, nice.


         And we came back here and dried it out, and now we’ve picked the tobacco


         and now we’ll deal with it, I’ll card it with the carder. The black [first]


         and [there’s] still a bit more white [to do].


         And how do you do the carding?


         Well, you stretch it out like this.


         Like this?


         Yes, like that.


         Hah, hah (I see).


         And what you can’t [manage like that], you [do with] the carders.


         Ah.


         I have these carders [that I use] sitting down.


         Aha.


         I sit down, and stretch it, stretch it out – and they card it.


         Ooh, yes.


         and


         [laughter]


         it comes out.


         And it comes out.


         And it comes out [laughter] – the wool.
