Chapter 342 Wool
"So many!"
I saw that the shelf that Wang was pointing at was full of milky white cloth.
"Here are all the cloths that have been woven recently."
"These milky white fabrics can be taken out and sold." The storage quantity is also sufficient.
Wang took Su Mu to a small room inside.
"Here are the fabrics with woven patterns." These more precious fabrics, as well as some other things, are all placed here.
The two of them walked in, where there were several pieces of cloth, as well as several kinds of colorful plaid cloth.
"We have woven so much cloth with this pattern." There are already three or four rolls of cloth.
There are also those plaid fabrics. Although these fabrics are not as dazzling as the first plaid color combination, this kind of plaid fabric is still relatively novel.
"These pieces of plaid fabric were woven by other people. They look very nice too. I put them here."
People here are learning very quickly now, and quite a few of them have already mastered weaving plaid cloth expertly.
"Really?" This is great. "Since those people can weave plaid cloth, let them weave plaid cloth." The other solid color cloths can be given to others.
"I know."
"Mom, what are these threads?" Su Mu saw several rolls of colorful threads next to these cloths.
"This." Wang smiled and picked up a roll of thread. "This is their new thing. They spun several kinds of colored cotton together into thread, and finally got this roll of thread."
"Some of these reels have colored cotton mixed together, and some have a section of each color spun into a piece of thread, and then the next color is spun together."
Wang showed the thread to Su Mu.
Su Mu looked at these different kinds of threads and was amazed.
"They are so creative, they can weave colorful fabrics this way."
"Yes, they think so too, but the thread has just been spun and the weaving has not started yet. I don't know if it will be successful."
"Sure." Su Mu nodded, but he didn't know whether the woven cloth would look good.
"The cotton threads can also be woven thicker so that they can be used to make scarves."
There are many types of wool yarn, some are made of wool, and some are made of cotton.
"Knit a scarf?" Wang had a confused expression on her face. This was another word she didn't know.
"Oh, that's right!" She forgot that in that era people didn't knit scarves or sweaters.
Wool yarn or knitted sweaters were not introduced into China until the late Qing Dynasty, when the country opened its doors. It was not until the 1980s, when the reform and opening up began, that sweaters and the like began to flourish in large quantities.
Su Mu's eyes became brighter and brighter, she discovered a new business opportunity!
"Mother, come, let's sit down and talk about this."
Su Mu took Wang and sat down in a room.
"Mother, let me explain to you about wool, knitting sweaters and other things."
In order to make Wang understand more clearly, Su Mu took Wang directly into the space.
Let 006 play pictures of yarn and sweaters in the space.
"This is wool yarn, usually made of linen, cotton or wool, and some are made of silk." Of course, many of them are made of chemical fibers in modern times, but here even if you want to find chemical fibers, there are none.
“There are many colors and styles of yarn.”
Su Mu looked at 006, and 006 started playing pictures, just like explaining a PPT.
"There are yarns of all colors, all kinds, including this one." Su Mu pointed out a yarn in particular.
"This is the same color as the colorful thread reel in our warehouse!" They are all colorful thread reels with the same pattern.
"Yes, mother, this color is exactly the same as that pattern. This is mixed color thread."
Su Mu also showed Wang a lot of yarns, including smooth yarns, fluffy yarns, and short-haired yarns, of various types.
“That’s about all the yarn.”
"These threads are so rich." Wang was dazzled and immersed in these balls of thread.
"Mother, do you want to know what you can make out of these yarns?"
"Of course I did!" What kind of words are you talking about?
"Hey, I'll show it to mother right away."
006As Su Mu spoke, the finished products of wool knitting began to play.
Let’s start with the most basic one, which is a long scarf.
"This is a scarf. You can wrap it around your neck in the winter. It's very warm."
"This is good! This is good!" It looks very warm. If you wear this in the winter, you don't have to worry about a cold neck or wind blowing in through the collar.
"There's more." Su Mu showed that there was also a round neck collar that could be put on directly, which was very convenient.
“This one’s good too!”
Wang simply didn't know what to praise, she only knew that each one was very good.
"And clothes." Next up is the more difficult sweater.
"This is a sweater. It fits close to the body. I wear it under my clothes in winter. It keeps me warm and doesn't make me look bulky."
The pictures show the styles of sweaters, which are completely different from the current clothing styles.
"Oh, this is good too."
"It must be very comfortable to wear it inside when it's cold."
Wang could already imagine what this dress would look like in winter.
There are not many styles of warm clothing nowadays. Most of them are cotton-padded clothes and various fur products, but there are not many close-fitting clothes.
"So, I thought we could weave some wool, so we can make a lot of scarves, or sweaters."
"We can use these things not only for our own use but also for sale."
When these clothes and scarves come out, it will shock the whole capital.
"Yes! Mumu's idea is very good."
"There is a key question. What tools are needed to knit scarves and sweaters? Do we have them?"
These scarves and clothes don't look like they were made on a loom.
"Oh, that's right! Mother, this is a very good question."
They were so focused on the threads and the clothes that they forgot about the tools.
“The tools for knitting sweaters and scarves are very simple. It’s just that knitting sweaters and scarves requires human labor.”
Su Mu showed Wang the pictures of the tools. These things were woven with a few pointed sticks at both ends, of different thicknesses. Each thickness had a different size, and the things woven with different sized needles were also different.
“This tool is simple!”
It doesn't look difficult to make this tool.
"Yes, I'll ask someone to make a batch of knitting needles, and we'll give it a try first."
Knitting needles are made of bamboo and wood. First, make a batch of them. These knitting needles must be made very smoothly and each one must be the same thickness.
"Okay, I'll follow the others and spin some wool and save it first."
