This manual is to teach the people a certain skill to those who are brave enough to undergo the trip to America. There are many other things that you should learn to survive in this new land, but this is just one way. By reading the rest of this passage you will be able to provide clothing for your family. This is how you skirt, scour, card, and spin a wool fleece.
First, after someone has sheared the wool from the sheep, cut off any parts of the wool that can’t be cleaned. Also, you have to remove all the things that you definitely don’t want in your yarn. You can do this on the floor or on a table as long as there is an old blanket underneath it. This is probability the worst step of preparing the fleece.
Next, you have to make sure there are no manure, dirt, and other oils. This is called scouring, or just a fancy way of saying “cleaning wool”. The best way to scour wool is to find some rain water and heat it up. Prepare a tub with water, then fill it with the rainwater. Don’t forget the soap, but make sure it is not scented. Then soak a portion of wool in the tub. It should be able to spread a little and stay loose. You can move it around but you don’t want to cause it to be agitated. Take it out and allow water to drip off. Dump out the water or use another tub, and repeat the process. Try to keep the water temperatures the same. After it’s dry then you need to tease or pick the wool so it’s in a web like form.
For The next process you need two “cards” or a pair of ruff brushes. You mostly want to accomplish a web of strains going to in the same direction. This needs to be very gentle. Try to use a brush with bristles that are close together. Put the wool in small strips onto the brush. Hold the handle in y...

...lped you to either better prepare for your trip or to calm some nerves about making suitable clothes. Please, pass this along to others that are in your settlement. Also know that these steps take a long time to figure out and I am praying that with these instructions your time spent will be shorter.

For small spots or stains, the coat should first be laid down on a clean surface. Do not work on it while it is still hanging. This can lead to unnecessary stress on the shoulders and can cause them to become misshapen. Use a lint roller over the entire surface to remove any dust or dirt. (Note: this should also be done before and after any time it is packed away for the off season.)
This entire movie is a process with many smaller inner processes. One section would be growing the cotton, first you plant it, then fertilize it at certain stages and then you also have to kill the weeds that can kill the cotton while it is growing. Next you have to harvest the cotton at just the right time and at certain conditions. Another process would be the transportation of the cotton and the products that come from the cotton. You first need to transport the raw cotton over the ocean to China. Then the cotton or the clothing needs to be transported through the streets of the cities in China. If it is not secured enough the drivers can get fined heavily for it. Another process would be the production of the cotton in to the clothes. You need to clean the cotton, and then dye it. Then the cotton has to be spooled and set in a machine with many other spools and be weaved into the machine by hand, and then the clothes need to be sewed out of the fabric.
The community of the American Colonies in the 16th to 17th century shared ideas and ways of life with one another. “The colonist came from many countries—England, France, Holland, Germany, and Spain. They brought with them their different customs and skills” (Corwin 7). Together they learned to formulate and develop items. Home crafts are gender specific; typically women became the ones who wove, sewed, embroidered, and quilted; while the men cleared land, farmed, cut wood, butchered and hunted animals. In colonial America, home crafts became not just decoration or a hobby, but a thrifty use of leftover resources, a way of life, rebellion, and a huge role in women’s history.
Fiber is a threadlike material that can be found in a natural or manmade form. Natural fibers derive from various animals, plants and can even be produced by insects. These fibers have been in use since prehistoric times and are currently produced today. The most common natural fibers used are linen, wool, silk and cotton. They have been woven together to create fabrics for clothing and other items. A natural protein fiber, called wool, was discovered before 10,000 B.C.E. and woven into cloth by 1900 B.C.E. Wool comes from predominantly sheep but is also found in other animals such as, llamas, alpacas, camels and goats. Tribes in North Europe spun wool using a crude spindle, which is a stick with a stone or clay ring connected to the end to make yarn. They also made wool into cloth by weaving the thread in a criss cross style. Some humans 8,000 years ago had domesticated sheep specifically for the production of wool and other uses. In 4,000 B.C.E. the city of Babylon also known as the “Land of Wool”, had bought and sold woolen cloth which was important to their society. Over the years spinning and weaving machines were constantly improved like the spinning jenny built in 1767 with many spindles placed side to side allowing it to operate 120 spindles at once. Weaving wool became more machinery based rather than using the traditional manual weaving (“History of Wool”, n.d.). In order to create the fiber wool, there is a process of cutting the hair from the animal which is usually done manually by shearing specialist. After cutting, the sheared wool is cleaned and brushed to straighten out the fiber strands by hand. The wool is then placed into a carding machine where it goes through many bristled rollers and roved. The carding process separates the wool into small pieces and cooled in spools at the end of the machine. Soon the wool is spun into yarn and woven into cloth. Before this machinery process, many women known as spinsters took on the task of turn wool into cloth manually. Wool is commonly used to create sweater garments and coats for cool weather (“History of Fibers”, n.d.). The Fiber repels water well and fabric feels dry in damp or wet weather. A downside to wearing wool is that it attracts moths and carpet beetles that feed on the fabric.
You are going to want to pull the book directly out of the freezer and remove the wax paper wrapped around it or pull it out of its Ziplock bag and lay it flat on your counter. Then, turn your blow dryer onto the hottest and highest setting. Take your blow dryer and move it around the cover of your book, working across the entire surface so that your cover becomes dry. As it dries, open the cover and continue to apply hot area to the cover.
All uniform items have noted washing instructions. General instructions are to wash the item in cold water and may be dried under the low heat setting.

They gather the sheep and then come back to wrap Teofilo up in a red blanket.
When it comes to wool one imagines idyllic surroundings and sheep who naturally shed their coats or need haircuts to keep cool during hot summer months, and one may believe sheep live this life until the final breath, but ones imagination is far from the truth. Even though wool is a multimillion dollar a year industry, due to the welfare of the animals that unwillingly have to participate this industry should be shut down. Lyn White, campaign director for Animals Australia states “Australian wool producers are striving to produce ultra-fine wool to supply the demand from elite fashion houses both in Australia and overseas. Each year, leading Italian fashion house Ermenegildo Zegna presents the prestigious ultra-fine wool industry trophy -- the Vellus Aureum Trophy -- awarded for the finest micron fleece. This year the trophy was awarded to The Wool Factory from Horsham, Victoria by Count Paulo Zegna and Australia's Gov...
1. Now that your water is filling up in your washing machine, pour in laundry detergent, liquid or powder. (note: putting detergent into load before the water is completely filled may cause white spots or fading in your clothes)
This process is carried out in large drums or vats with paddles and workers using long sticks to churn the hides in the solution, (Gupta Shivam, 2007).
There are only 5 simple steps you should remember: wet, lather, scrub, rinse and dry. But for better protection you should follow the proper procedure.
First of all, the fibres can classified as natural or man-made fibres. Natural fibres are those obtained from the natural resources on the environment, whereas the man-made fibres could be synthetic or regenerated fibres. Synthetic fibres are completely made from chemicals while regenerated fibres are those originally from natural resources unsuitable to be used as fibres directly, processed chemically to be changed into textile fibres. In this assignment, we will study on the general textile manufacturing processes as listed below. Then, it is hoped that the knowledge on general process could help us understand more on the industry as well to relate it with the environment.
From 2005 the textile segment has been made up of 2 companies, transforming raw materials into fabrics, from spinning to finishing and ennobling. Handicraft product quality and technological research development characterize this business segment which works with internationally recognized names of the apparel and fashion industry.
