this is what's known as a "waulking" song....newly spun tweed fabric is rough and coarse like canvas...."waulking" it by kneading and rubbing it softens and shrinks it so it is comfortable to wear....nowadays done by machine in times gone by it was done like this on Harris and other hebridean islands

I know there isn't much of a point of being nostalgic about recreating this exact same practice but man is it hitting me that I dream of having such a ritual with a group of females where we match our labor to a few songs and rhymes that we would sing together.
Just for funs and a little background I'm actually a freshly graduated medical doctor in my mid twenties. So it might be quite unlikely to make this dream come true in my professional life and maybe overall since I'm not sure I'll find other females who would be interested in doing this... but yeah... just getting this off my chest. โค

I love this one. I imagine this makes the work much quicker and more enjoyable singing with your sisters โค

This is not a forgotten practice. Reenactment groups in Scotland keep it alive.

I'm a millennial but this seemingly forgotten practice is straight out of my own childhood memories. This is a "milling frolic", still a common sight at the Gaelic College and elsewhere in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia ("New Scotland")! They are banging or "waulking" the cloth against the table to soften and shrink it fresh from the loom. The songs all have that same cadence to help keep the rhythm and are usually call and response with one soloist singing the verses and everyone repeating the chorus. The idea is similar to a sewing bee, essentially a work party to help tedious tasks go quicker and more enjoyably. Interestingly enough there tends to be more traditional Scottish cultural activities in Cape Breton than in Scotland itself, and they have the highest concentration of native Gaelic speakers there! My own grandfather, though born and raised in Canada, didn't learn English until he was sent to public school. Even though Gaelic is generally considered a "dead language" it still lives in Cape Breton.
