Woolen Skirt

"Long ankle length skirt made from dyed red sheep’s wool; the top part is black cotton. The skirt belonged to my grandmother. (Margaret Thornton O’Connor) who altered the skirt to add the black cotton at the waist. Margaret was a weaver by trade, and wove and dyed the sheep’s wool to make the skirt. "
