A fuller in colonial times was a tradesperson who specialized in the process of fulling woolen cloth. This process involved cleaning and thickening the fabric by removing oils and dirt, often using water, clay, and other substances. Fullers would stomp on the cloth in large vats or use tools to ensure the fibers mat together, resulting in a denser and more durable material. This trade was essential for producing the high-quality wool textiles that were important in colonial economies.
