Teasing the nap in wool making refers to the process of raising the fibers on the surface of the wool fabric to create a soft, fuzzy texture. This is typically achieved by gently brushing or carding the wool, which helps to separate and lift the fibers, enhancing the fabric's warmth and appearance. The resulting nap not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also increases the insulating properties of the wool. It is often used in the production of garments like coats and blankets.
Fullers used a plant called Fuller's Teasel to raise the nap on woolen cloth. The natural prickly seed heads of Fuller's Teasel were ideal for teasing and raising the fibers of the woven wool, which helped to create a softer and more uniform surface on the fabric.
