  The Fulling Mills of the Isle of Wight
In setting up a fulling mill, the lord of a manor too found a profitable form of income to be had from requiring the tenants of his estate to use it to full their cloth.
Fulling, also known as felting, was one in a sequence of processes involved in the production of woollen cloth and fulfilled two functions that were necessary for the proper finishing of the cloth: scouring and consolidation of the fibres of the fabric.
The fulling stocks were construsted using a large wooden frame to support an inclined arm with a stock at one end, rather like a large mallet, pivoted at one end so as to allow it to swing in an arc down onto the cloth contained in a wooden trough.

 Fulling Mills
The Fulling or Tucking process consists of the closing together of the threads of newly woven woollen fabric with the assistance of soap or acid liquor, with the end purpose of producing a grease free cloth of the correct thickness for future use, including dying.
Fulling was one in a sequence of important processes involved in the production of woollen cloth, and fulfilled two functions that were necessary for the proper finishing of the cloth, namely scouring and consolidation of the fibres of the fabric.
Following the fulling process, the cloth was attached is to a tentering frame in order to stretch it to the required size by setting the weave to a consistent dimension and tension, and it also acted as a way of evenly drying and bleaching the cloth in the sunlight.

 Fulling and Fulachta Fiadh
He noted that : “The manner of tucking and thickening cloth without a mill is thus: they place the cloth double upon a large wicker or twiggen door, and work it with their hands and feet until it becomes thick by rowling, this they dash with stale chamberlye in working” (Robertson 1986, 231).
As fulling is a short process that needs very hot water I placed fifteen of the stones into the water in quick succession.
I measured the fulled cloth and I found that it had shrunk by several centimetres as it now measured 23cm x 9cm (plate 30).

 Fulling and felting
Fulling is the process of fluffing up an already woven or knitted piece of woolen cloth.
Fulling can be applied lightly, and simply fluff up a fabric so it ends up softer, fuzzier and thicker (so warmer for the same weight) but still very pliable.
Generally the best candidates for fulling are fairly loosely knitted or woven fabrics, both because that allows more thread movement and makes the process more efficient, and because the resulting fabric is more likely to be satisfactory in weight.
