Some history of fulling
« on: August 31, 2016, 05:30:47 pm »
I recently got back in touch with an old college pal, Kate.  Back then I was trying unsuccessfully to become a vet, probably unsuccessfully at least in part due to the much greater success I was having at winning drinking games ::), and Kate was studying archaeology and anthropology.  Nowadays, turns out we both spin and knit. 

Anyways, she has an entertaining and informative blog as Woolwinding.  In her most recent issue she's turned her attention to fulling through history.  I thought some of you might enjoy it.  linky

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Thanks Sally
Life is like a bowl of cherries, mostly yummy but some dodgy bits
