Exodus 35:25

And all the women that were wise hearted

did spin [with] their hands;
in which way they got their living: some were more dexterous at it than others:

and of scarlet, and of fine linen;
that is, yarn of these several colours, and flaxen thread, of which fine linen was made, all ready for the weaver, whether in woollen or linen.
