Carding Cottage Donegal Spinning Thatched Wheel Wool
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in County Donegal, Ireland during the early 1900s. The image shows a woman intently focused on her spinning wheel, her hands deftly manipulating the wool as it transforms into thread. A young girl, dressed in traditional Irish attire, sits beside her, patiently feeding the carding machine, which separates and aligns the fibers of the wool in preparation for spinning. The scene takes place outside a quintessential thatched cottage, its ivy-covered walls and smoke rising from the chimney adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The rolling hills and lush greenery of the Irish countryside stretch out in the background, providing the perfect setting for this timeless activity. Spinning and carding wool was an essential part of rural Irish life for centuries, with families relying on the wool from their own sheep to keep warm during the harsh winters. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the close relationship between the people of County Donegal and the land they called home.
