Perfection of modern technologies helpsa person in the intensive use of proven experience. All the same, the use of natural materials is in demand, despite the discoveries in the production of man-made fibers. The mechanization of the processing of wool and the production of fabrics has not yet passed the usual boundaries. Continue to graze herds of animals, serving as a source of raw materials for woolen fabrics, continue to remove from them the fleece of the hands of shearers, armed with advanced clippers.

Wool and clothes from it: how it all began

The first "suits" of wool were primitive andwere cloaks, bandages and windings for the legs from badly made skins. Over time, the techniques of leather making with fur became more and more sophisticated and sophisticated, turning the skins into a kind of soft woven fabrics. The coiled wool fell around before the onset of the spinning period, or became wet (hence the word "felt") - this technology is still used in the production of the famous Russian felt boots or, as they are also called, felt-felt products. Products turned out rough, but warm.

About the "propensity" of woolen fibers to felting and shrinkage must be remembered when washing the fabric. Wool does not like long soaking, high temperatures, contrasting modes, alkaline media and twisting.

The most important event for a person seeking salvationfrom the cold, became the invention of a loom. The wool of animals was combed or collected after the lines, shaved sharply sharpened with knives, and later sheared with scissors. The tangled flecks of wool were washed, cleaned of debris, combed with special combs, dividing into individual strands. From the fibers, a thread, more or less thin, was threaded onto the spindle, depending on the quality of the wool. From the obtained yarn with the help of a loom machine bands of cloth were assembled, from which it was possible to make clothes. The color of the finished fabric corresponded to the original raw material, over time various organic, mineral and vegetable dyes began to be used.

Wool and modernity

The described algorithm of actions is basically nothas changed in our days. The carding machines, detergents, weaving machines have become more sophisticated, breeds of sheep, goats and other animals that produce beautifully, soft and fine wool have been selected by selection. From the trimmed rune, ecologically clean fabrics for clothes of very different density and thickness are made. Adding synthetic fibers to the wool makes the fabric nondegenerate, more durable, resistant to wear.

Find out if the fabric made of wool is simple. Cutting off a small flap and scorching it, you will smell the burnt feather. The fibers of the fabric will be sintered, forming an easily grinding black lump.

Weaving machines are programmed to createcomplex weave threads and various patterns and patterns on the fabric, the dyed fabrics do not change color after a lot of washing. Knitting from woolen yarn is one of the favorite handicrafts in the world, and knitted woolen products are an indispensable detail in every wardrobe.
