  3. Traditional Fabric Making/Weaving You would have noticed the water wheel on the ground floor at EgairMoel Mill today in St. Fagans. The river was integral to the wollen mills. The soft water would have washed the finished product. The fast flowing river would have powered the machines. The rivers would run in the colour the mill had been dyeing that day! The river would have been blue, red, purple, orange…

  4. The river would also have been used to wash the sheep. The sheep would have been washed 3 times before shearing. Farmers in coracles would dunk the sheep in the water with their oars!

  5. EsgairMoel Mill Today you saw the EsgairMoel Mill working. You saw the hand looms and the spinning jack and water wheel.

  6. Traditionally, a nursing shawl would have been made and flannel shirts used mostly by farmers to keep them cool in warm weather, Welsh costumes, woollen clothes, blankets, rugs, tapestry throws and scarves.
