Ethnic garments Black and white Bogolanfini (mud cloth) Date: 1970Courtesy of Judy Edmister This three-piece man’s outfit is traditional for the Mali of Western Africa. The upper body cover is left open on the side in traditional African style to facilitate ventilation. The wrapped lower body covering is made of seven strips of hand woven cloth woven by men on a double heddle loom. The skullcap is traditional in design and form. The production of mud cloth starts with plain white cotton cloth strip-woven by men. The narrow strips are then sewn together. The fabric is then soaked in mordant-bearing mulch leaves. The mordant (tannin) soaks into the fabric that takes on an even yellow color. The mud dye process is complex and time consuming. After fermenting the dye in a covered pot for about a year to turn the dye black, iron oxide in the mud reacts with the tannic acid from the mulchtoproduce a colorfast dye. The resulting pattern is painted around the light colored or white design motif. Don’t try this at home. Sheep droppings boiled in milk were once recommended in Ireland as a cure for whooping cough.

  • Barred Blanket Initialled CY and Dated 1726
    Barred Blanket initialled CY and dated 1726 Introduction The collection of The Scottish Tartans Authority (STA) includes a number of specimens of predominately white based tartan material typical of what is often referred to as an arisaid pattern1. Amongst these is a complete joined specimen initialled CY and dated 1726 (Plate 1). This magnificent piece is the oldest and largest complete example of a joined Highland plaid/blanket known. It was purchased in 19662 from John Telfer Dunbar, collector and author of the seminal work The History of Highland Dressi. Unfortunately, Dunbar’s records are far from complete and in this instance, he gives no clue as to where he acquired the piece. Plate 1. Detail of the blanket showing the initials, date and join. Photo: E. F. Williams. The use of the term ‘arisaid’ to describe this type of pattern resulted in this piece being used in a display in the manner described by Martin Martinii (Plate 2). However, rather than being intended for use as an arisaid, this piece is an example of a Highland domestic plaid3 of a type often referred to as a ‘Barred Blanket’ because of the striped selvedge pattern. This is supported by the family tradition that the plaid was woven by CY to commemorate her marriage (to Capt Arbuthnott) and was used on special occasions to decorate the table. 1 The term refers to the form of over-plaid worn by women until the early 18th century and is discussed further in the companion paper Musings on the Arisaid and other female dress.

  • Historic Costuming Presented by Jill Harrison
    Historic Southern Indiana Interpretation Workshop, March 2-4, 1998 Historic Costuming Presented By Jill Harrison IMPRESSIONS Each of us makes an impression before ever saying a word. We size up visitors all the time, anticipating behavior from their age, clothing, and demeanor. What do they think of interpreters, disguised as we are in the threads of another time? While stressing the importance of historically accurate costuming (outfits) and accoutrements for first- person interpreters, there are many reasons compromises are made - perhaps a tight budget or lack of skilled construction personnel. Items such as shoes and eyeglasses are usually a sticking point when assembling a truly accurate outfit. It has been suggested that when visitors spot inaccurate details, interpreter credibility is downgraded and visitors launch into a frame of mind to find other inaccuracies. This may be true of visitors who are historical reenactors, buffs, or other interpreters. Most visitors, though, lack the heightened awareness to recognize the difference between authentic period detailing and the less-than-perfect substitutions. But everyone will notice a wristwatch, sunglasses, or tennis shoes. We have a responsibility to the public not to misrepresent the past; otherwise we are not preserving history but instead creating our own fiction and calling it the truth. Realistically, the appearance of the interpreter, our information base, our techniques, and our environment all affect the first-person experience. Historically accurate costuming perfection is laudable and reinforces academic credence. The minute details can be a springboard to important educational concepts; but the outfit is not the linchpin on which successful interpretation hangs.

  • Paper 2: the Woollen Cloth Industry in the Lim Valley © Richard Bull & Lyme Regis Museum Revised with Extra Images July 2015
    Industrial Lyme - Paper 2: The Woollen Cloth Industry in the Lim Valley © Richard Bull & Lyme Regis Museum Revised with extra images July 2015 Like all research, this is on-going. If you know more, or are descended from any of the families involved, please get in touch with the author via Lyme Regis Museum. Summary Woollen cloth has been made in the Lim Valley from at least medieval times, but this paper is more about the factories in Lyme Regis and Uplyme that made high-quality West of England coat cloths. The factories in Lyme were bankrupt in 1847, leaving the Uplyme factory to soldier on against Yorkshire competition until it was destroyed by fire in 1866, whilst being modernised. In Lyme the factories were started up again in the 1850s to make silk thread and hemp twine, but only for a short period; these are the subjects of other papers in this series. This paper contains: the background to the trade, the history of the factories and a walking trail to see the mills. Cloth making – the essential process in a nutshell Sheep fleeces are packed on the farm into big canvas bags called woolsacks. At the factory the fleeces are scoured (washed) to remove lanolin (wool- grease), dirt and adhering vegetable material. Then the fleeces are scribbled (torn up into pieces), combed and carded to produce rovings, long strips of wool ready for spinning. Washed and combed fleece being fed into a carding machine at Coldharbour Mill, Uffculme, Devon Industrial Lyme Paper 2 – The Woollen Cloth Industry © R Bull & Lyme Regis Museum 1 Spinning means to draw out and twist - and by this process the scales of the individual wool fibres lock together to produce a thread known as a single.

  • Education Teacher’S Kit
    Industrial Heritage - The Textile Industry Education Teacher’s Kit Background There is archaeological evidence of textile production in Britain from the late-prehistoric period onwards. For many thousands of years wool was the staple textile product of Britain. The dominance of wool in the British textile industry changed rapidly during the eighteenth century with the development of mechanised silk production and then mechanised cotton production. By the mid-nineteenth century all four major branches of the textile industry (cotton, wool, flax, hemp and jute and silk) had been mechanised and the British landscape was dominated by over 10,000 mill buildings with their distinctive chimneys. Overseas competition led to a decline in the textile industry in the mid-twentieth century. Today woollen production is once again the dominant part of the sector together with artificial and man-made fibres, although output is much reduced from historic levels. Innovation Thomas Lombe’s silk mill, built in 1721, is regarded as the first factory-based textile mill in Britain. However, it was not until the handloom was developed following the introduction of John Kay’s flying shuttle in 1733 that other branches of the textile industry (notably cotton and wool) became increasingly mechanised. In the second half of the eighteenth century, a succession of major innovations including James Hargreaves’s spinning jenny (1764), Richard Arkwright’s water frame (1769), his carding engine (1775), and Samuel Crompton’s mule (1779), revolutionised the preparation and spinning of cotton and wool and led to the establishment of textile factories where several machines were housed under one roof.

  • INDIAN TRADE BLANKETS in the PACIFIC NORTHWEST History and Symbolism of a Unique North American Tradition by W
    WashingtonHistory.org INDIAN TRADE BLANKETS IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST History and Symbolism of a Unique North American Tradition By W. R. Swagerty COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2002: Vol. 16, No. 2 To lovers of the picturesque it is a source of keen regret that the Blanket Indian, the most striking and conspicuous figure this country has ever produced, is passing. And by this I mean the Indian who formerly wore a red blanket, a beaded buckskin shirt and leggins, a gorgeous war bonnet, and who painted his face, his hands and his horse in a manner wonderful to behold. Block Quote —G. O. Shields from Blanket Indians of the Northwest, 1921 A veteran of the Indian wars, Shields, like many of his contemporaries, was convinced that the American Indian was a "vanishing race," a victim of "Progress" and the inevitable sweep of Western civilization over a once-proud people now reservation-bound and without the warrior heroes of yesteryear. Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, American Horse, Geronimo, and Chief JosePh— "The Noblest Roman of Them All"—were all gone, rePlaced by a generation of hunters-turned- farmers, and Poor ones at that. Had Shields looked carefully he would have seen many "blanket Indians" at powwows, giveaways, potlatches, funerals, saints' days, parades, rodeos, and in more traditional households on and off reservations. Writing in 1933, Luther Standing Bear, a notable Sioux, reminisced in his autobiography, Land of the Spotted Eagle: Many an Indian has accomplished his own personal salvation by "going back to the blanket." The Indian blanket or buffalo robe, a true American garment and worn with the significance of language; covered beneath it, is the prototype of the American Indian, one of the bravest attempts ever made by man on this continent to rise to the heights of true humanity.

  • Influence of Tencel/Cotton Blends on Knitted Fabric Performance

Then, all the produced fabrics were subjected to five cycles laun- dering and then flat dried. The results show that 67% Tencel-LF/33% cotton has more flexural rigidity and withdrawing handle force than 67% Tencel-STD/33% cotton fabric, while 67% Tencel-STD/33% cotton has a merit of durability during bursting test.
