I forget when to use spinning vs. other names). I had heard that sacks were often used for clothing in the depression. I recall it being mentioned in the dust bowl series on PBS.

This probably was a towelling type feed sack. It's nicely woven in twill, making it sturdy enough for barley or oats not to slip through the weave. Blue jeans are woven in three harness twill. To make it more attractive to Mrs. Hungarian housewife, or any farm housewife at the turn of the 20th century, the red stripe is carried out in herringbone. It is woven in cotton. Don't knock it until you've put your face on it. Flannel is wonderfully soft; cotton sheeting is unfulled cotton.<br /><br /><br />Feed sacks provided the sheeting, the towelling, even the school dresses of depression era farm families. Those canny grain merchants knew their sack of feed had a leg up if the farmer's wife wanted the sack to make Janie a new school dress. The barley had to be in sacks anyway, for transportation on railroad cars; it cost them almost nothing to add a print or a weaving design to the fabric.jnoragonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-26589701401209915402012-12-11T19:10:40.472-06:002012-12-11T19:10:40.472-06:00I agree on that.
