What was a fuller's job in the medieval times?

Fuller can have either one of two meanings in the context of medieval times:The sword's "fuller" purpose was to act as a flexible spine for the blade that reduced weight and gave the sword both strength and flexibility.Alternately a fuller (a person) worked with woolen cloth. The fuller first pounded the cloth with sticks or walked on it while wet to cleanse it and whiten the fibers. The walking on the cloth gave fullers their other name of "Walker" The job was not pleasant as the ammonia used in the process came from the urine in the fluid. Additional materials in the wash included Fullers earth (ammonium silicate). The fulling process also thickened the cloth by felting the fibers (tangling them up) and made the material somewhat waterproof. As an aside the foul smelling washing liquid was removed before the cloth was stretched and dried.
