Craftsmanship
To make clothing, rugs, tents and other products, we use tools specially designed for this purpose.
Comb
It is a board approximately 80 cm long and 20 cm wide, fitted at one of its ends with iron teeth 15 to 18 cm high. These teeth are placed in equal numbers in two parallel rows.
The comb is supported by a sort of foot which can be any object. On the weaver's wrist, it allows a certain vitality in the work.
wool
The use of wool as a textile fiber is widely attested from the Bronze Age in northern countries (around 1600-1500 BC), in particular by complete pieces discovered in peat bogs. Very quickly, the wool produced in the Mediterranean, fine and comfortable, was able to establish itself for export.
Wool is very useful, because it makes it possible to make strong clothing intended primarily to protect oneself from the cold and bad weather. The properties of wool are warmth, elasticity and waterproofing.
Woolen fabric, mainly intended for clothing, but also used as blankets and hangings, acquired, along the way, a prodigious success with the making of sheets to which the weaving gives a beautiful velvety appearance and a plain surface.
