1717. There is an entry of worsted, 5d. was that worsted given to you for the purpose of knitting shawls to Mr. Sinclair?-I asked for worsted to buy, and I got it to knit for myself, and to sell again.
1718. Then it is entered in the pass-book just as goods?-Yes.
1719. Is there any difficulty made about giving you worsted in that way and entering it in the pass-book?-No; whenever I ask for worsted, I get it the same as any other thing out of the shop.
1720. Were you ever told that worsted was a money article?-No; I never was told that, so far as I can remember.
1721. Have you dealt in any other shop than Mr. Sinclair's in this way?-No; I have knitted for two and a half years for Mr, Sinclair.
1722. And always in the same way?-Yes.
1723. Are you a North Unst woman?-Yes.
1724. Do you live in Lerwick by yourself?-I live with my mother and my two sisters in a room.
1725. Does your mother knit?-No; she spins.
1726. Does she spin your wool?-No; she gets wool from other people to spin, and gets money for her work. She only spins for those who employ her.
