spinning
noun
fiado
EN This has its advantages as well as its drawbacks, and accounts for the considerable amount of work done on a small scale: pottery, lace, spinning, weaving (on primitive hand-looms), sabot-making, boat-building --wherever the soil is barren the Galician devises some industry to keep his hands from idleness and his body from starvation.
GL Isto ten as súas vantaxes e os seus inconvenientes e xustifica a grande cantidade de traballo que se fai a pequena escala: cerámica, encaixes, fiado, tecidos (en primitivos teares de man), elaboración de zocos, construcción de barcos, etc. Onde queira que o solo sexa improductivo, o galego argalla algún tipo de actividade para afasta-las súas mans da desocupación e o seu corpo da fame.
