Wool Card
To make clothing, rugs, tents and other products, we use tools specially designed for this purpose.
Card
The card is made up of two paddles approximately 20 cm long and 15 cm wide, each having a handle and presenting on one side a cardboard covered with leather fitted with small metal points.
The carder is used to fuse the wool in order to spin it.
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.
