Description

This image depicts a variety of women's dresses to compare with that shown in the Ellesmere illustration. Coincidentally, these women are all spinning wool together; spinning is a time-consuming, yet crucial step in the long process of making fabric. (The Hague, RMMW, 10 A 11, fol. 69v.)
