In this process, wool from worn-out knitted or woven garments was pulled apart, rewashed, respun, and reused as the weft threads in woven blankets. To add strength to the yarn, new wool was spun with the reprocessed wool fibers, producing a mottled gray or brownish yarn that was used predominantly throughout the blanket. acim.umfk.maine.edu /textiles.html   (990 words)

Wild Wool, by John Muir (1875) - John Muir Exhibit (John Muir Education Project, Sierra Club California) The effects of human culture upon wild wool are analogous to those produced upon wild roses. These half wool, half hair fibers may therefore subserve some fixed requirement essential to the perfection of the whole, or they may simply be the fine boundary-lines where an exact balance between the wool and the hair is attained. I have been offering samples of mountain wool to my friends, demanding in return that the fineness of wildness be fairly recognized and confessed, but the returns are deplorably tame. www.sierraclub.org /john_muir_exhibit/writings/wild_wool.html   (2724 words)
