Technology of old coarse cotton cloth

Cotton stripper

The utility model is used to remove the cotton seeds from the picked cotton. The utility model has simple structure and can be operated manually or pedal. The skin and iron roll each other to squeeze the cotton to separate the cotton seeds.

Cotton spring

It is used to loosen the fiber in the cotton that has cottons removed. It is composed of elastic cotton bow, small orange and hammer.

spinning wheel

It is used to spin the elastic cotton into cotton thread, which can be spun eight liang a day by hand.

Winch

It is used to twist the spun spindle into several strands for easy sizing.

Braze warp

Before spinning, the cotton thread is straightened into warp by running back and forth manually, and the structure is composed of boards and nails.

Pedal loom

Spinning hemp and kudzu with a spindle is inefficient, and the twist of the yarn is uneven, but it has been the same since ancient times to the Western Han Dynasty. Through the continuous practice of the working people, the manual single spindle spinning wheel was invented, and then it was continuously improved to multi spindle spinning wheel, and the manual spinning wheel was changed to pedal spinning wheel. The spinning efficiency was greatly improved. A series of actions, such as pedal, hand push and shuttle throwing, were used to spin cotton yarn into cloth. In traditional rural areas, men farm and women weave, and can spin 2 jin of yarn every day and night.

How about the old coarse cloth

The Neolithic "spinning fiber" unearthed from the Yangshao Cultural Site in Henan Province; It represents the embryonic form of textile industry as early as the Neolithic Age.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, before foreign looms entered China, cloth merchants were mainly engaged in hand weaving with native looms. From the introduction of foreign yarn to the cotton weaving with foreign warp and local weft, it created a precedent for China's textile reform. With the development of industrial reform, textile machinery from its inception to its entry into China, greatly improved the textile efficiency, saved costs, and high-quality and inexpensive foreign cloth came out, It has replaced thousands of years of homespun cloth, but with the development of modern industry, pollution has increasingly become the focus of people's attention.

The hand spun yarn of the old Yellow River is also machine spun, but one twist is large and the other is small. The hand spun effect appears after the combination. Cutting machines and warping machines can be either manual or mechanical, or old coarse cloth that is completely hand woven. They can only be used as special gifts or high-end consumption.
