O mickle yeuks the keckle doup,An' a' unsicker girns the graith, For wae and wae! |
It is usually made by the leno, or doup, weaving process, in which a doup attachment, a thin hairpin-like needle attached to two healds, is used, and the adjacent warp yarns cross each other between picks. |
A'down my beard the slavers trickle I cast the wee stools o'er the meikle, While round the fire the giglets keckle, To see me loup, While, raving mad, I wish a heckle Were in their doup! |
