Spinning wheel attached: introduction to weaving tools

Cotton remover: it is used to remove the cotton seeds from the picked cotton. Its structure is simple, artificial hand crank or foot pedal operation, through the skin and iron rolling each other, squeezing the cotton, so that the cotton separated out.

Springing cotton bow and auxiliary tools: used to take off the cotton in the cotton fiber loosening. Composed of cotton bouncing bow, small orange, hit whip. Spinning car: used to pop the good cotton spun into cotton thread, hand-cranked by hand, can be spun eight two winch: used to spin into a good sand spindle twisted into a number of strands, easy to slurry washing.

Brazing: before spinning, by manual running back and forth to straighten the cotton thread into the warp, its structure is composed of wooden boards and nails.

Pedal weaving car: with a spindle spinning hemp, kudzu, the efficiency is very low, the spun thread of the flick is not uniform, but from ancient times to the Western Han Dynasty are so. Through the continuous practice of the working people, the invention of the hand-cranked single-spindle spinning wheel, after continuous improvement, single-spindle into a multi-spindle, and by the hand-cranked into the foot, the textile efficiency greatly improved. Through a series of actions of foot pedal, hand push, throw shuttle, the cotton thread will be spun into cloth. Traditional rural men and women weaving, every day and night can spin 2 pounds of yarn.

The main process of weaving coarse cloth

The process of weaving coarse cloth is skillful. First, the warp threads are sized, that is, the warp threads are sized once with batter. If the batter is too thick, the warp threads will be brittle and easy to break; if the batter is too thin, the warp threads will be loose and easy to break. Next is the drawstring, that is, on the warp, the drawstring with a hand line, the hand should be balanced, otherwise the drawstring is not the same tightness, easy to be interrupted by the shuttle when weaving. Then is to pull the crepe, crepe buckle length should be consistent, in order to make the upper and lower warp threads are clearly separated, the shuttle to and from unimpeded. The most important thing is to push the foot pedal. Weaving with the rope cavity (embedded buttons of the wooden frame) is to push the hand, push the heavy fall slowly, the cloth is tight; push the light fall quickly, the cloth will be sparse and uneven. Finally, the cloth is trimmed. First scrape off the small bumps on the cloth, and then the cloth closed in the cylinder, burning into the sulfur, the cloth was smoked white, removed, spray pulp folding, put on the stone pounded flat. After these several
