To Make a Thumb Rope [duchas:5043666]
When I am making a thumb, I get a little armful of hay and I shake. I get a little grain of hay and I make a 'dull' in it and I put my thumb in the 'dull' and I begin to twist and while I am twisting I roll the rope round round my thumb in the shape of a ball and so on till I am finished.
