Frequently Asked Question about the extinct profession: Fuller
Fulling is a textile finishing process that involves the cleaning, thickening, and shrinking of woolen fabrics. Traditionally, it uses water, heat, and mechanical action to mat the fibers together, enhancing the fabric's density and durability. This process removes impurities and creates a smoother texture, resulting in a warmer, more resilient material suitable for garments and blankets.
