A Description of Rural Life in Norway Europe by Ida Roseland Chamness The women shear the sheep, then card the wool, make it into small rolls about two inches around; then spin it and make it into skeins; color the yarn and weave it. My mother made and wove this bed spread, which you will see. Each young woman was supposed to have one of this kind of bed cover when getting married and start for themselves; as also one like this one: which I spun and wove five like this, the last winter in my dear home in Norway. I was nineteen years
