A tale of Northern Mills
From north to south
and from east to west
crafty threads combine
on warp and weft
Coming from the animal
from out on the hill
and carded and threaded
and spun till wheels still
Or straight from the plant
coming over the sea
and landed at dockside
with the coffee and tea
then dyed in the colour
and sent onto mill
where fabrics created
from the thread from the hill
