Waulking to the Beat.......................



Now that we have seen how Tweed is woven, it's look at fulling that cloth.

I found this wonderful video on Youtube, after I saw them on Facebook, waulking from Sgioba Luaidh Inbhirchluaidh.

It brought back so many memories of the times we would waulk our woven wool blankets.  I don't know how many blankets I wove that were waulked----it was many!!!

what a fun activity it was to sit around the table, pound the cloth with the beat of the song.
The fulled cloth at the finish was blessed--whomever sleeps under will have a peaceful and full life!
