Linen in Monaghan County Museum<\/h3>

This online exhibition of artefacts in our collection portrays the importance of the linen trade in County Monaghan.\u00a0The linen making process was a labour-intensive process that particularly suited the small size of farms in County Monaghan.<\/p>

The weaver-farmer system was very common until the 1830s, when spinning mills were becoming established and the spinning of linen thread at home slowly declined.<\/p>

The images illustrate the story and varied uses of linen, to view these images please see here<\/em><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
