SECOND GRADE WINTER WORK 



103 



What is needed before the fibers of the wool can be spun 

 into a thread we call yarn ? With a pair of hand cards show 

 how the fibers are combed into a roll, all running in the same 

 direction. By twisting this roll the fibers are brought close 

 to each other in such a way that they cling together and form 

 a strong yarn. The pupils may twist some of the rolls 

 from the hand cards into coarse yarn. 



WEAVING SECOND GRADE PUPILS 



Next describe the process of weaving. Show how threads 

 running parallel are crossed by others running at right 

 angles in such a way as to form a fabric. The pupils can 

 make a simple loom and do some weaving. 



NOTE. It may require several lessons to complete this work. In 

 a similar manner feathers, furs, hair, and other animal coverings may 

 be studied in detail.
