Medieval Methods for Making Fabric From Wool

In the MIDDLE AGES, wool was turned into cloth in the thriving wool production trade, in home-based cottage industry, and in private households for family use. Methods could vary and its depend on the  producer, but the basic processes of spinning, weaving, and finishing cloth were essentially the same.Wool is usually sheared from sheep all at once, resulting in a large fleece. Occasionally, the skin of a slaughtered sheep was utilized for its wool; but the product obtained, which was called "pulled" wool, was an inferior grade to that shorn from live sheep.
