<p>A description of the once communal and now individual activity of textile production in eastern Newfoundland including dyeing techniques, fancywork, and the creation of mittens, socks, sweaters, mats, and quilts. The author identifies an emphasis on the quality of the product rather than strict adherence to stylistic norms and suggests that higher household incomes and the increased availability of commercial textiles have led to fewer individuals practicing this art. <br><br>Published in English.</p>
