Wooden Spinning Wheel

Meet a linen weaver and investigate the sequence of fascinating processes involved in the production of linen - from flax in a field to the finest linen tablecloth. Learn about the life of a weaver in the early 1900s and listen to the clickety clack of a loom in action in Ballydugan Cottage at the Ulster Folk Museum. See and touch some textile tools from the museum’s collection and test your knowledge and understanding of this very impressive fabric through a series of fun and creative activities in the classroom.
