Tour Scotland Video Hand Spinning Wool Medieval Fair Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of a woman Hand Spinning Wool with a spinning wheel in the city centre on ancestry visit to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. In medieval times, poor families had such a need for yarn to make their own cloth and clothes that practically all girls and unmarried women would keep busy spinning. Mass production only arose in the 18th century with the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution. Hand spinning remains a popular handicraft.
