Letters from Ernestine K.
Stefan Dolfen (Photographer)
Dear Mr. Photographer,
Please don't think that I just sit around all the time! For many years I went to the weaving mill. I had to learn everything from the first basics. First spinning. This was very arduous. Then I had to set up the loom. We had to tension the warp with metres and metres of thread. And threading through the comb was a never ending job, before I could finally start weaving. I wove nice coloured fabrics for aprons, kitchen towels, tablecloths and much more. We had a good time. We sang and laughed. We were a good community. Now I want to rest, I need some peace. I just like to remember. You have no idea what it was like. Ernestine.
