As you may soon realise, if you haven't already, I'm terribly flighty when it comes to crafts and projects. I've put down my needle and thread for the time being and dusted off my spindle and spinning wheel for the first time in ages. With that, I got to thinking about fibre preparation in the medieval period, and so to that oft-repeated 'fact' that "teasels were used for carding wool". I've heard that fact repeated several times on the re-enactment circuit and it always struck me as being a stupid idea. I've tried half-heartedly to card wool fibre with teasels and the general outcome is that the ends of the teasel head break off in the wool, resulting in wool fibres that are still tangled but are even more filled with vegetable matter than they were to start with. So, how does one card with teasels? The clue is in the name, as one can see in the OED: Teasel: 1. A plant of the genus Dipsacus, comprising herbs with prickly leaves and flower-heads; esp. fullers' teasel n. D. fullonum, the heads of which have hooked prickles between the flowers, and are used for teasing cloth (see 2); and wild teasel n. D. sylvestris, held by some to be the original type, but having straight instead of hooked prickles. There we can see that there is a species of teasel named the fuller's teasel, fullers being the tradespeople who fulled (essentially felted) the cloth after weaving, but also maybe did other treatments e.g. raising the nap. This, I think, is our next clue. To go back to the OED: Card: 1. a. An implement for raising a nap on cloth, consisting of teasel-heads set in a frame (obs.). b. An iron instrument with teeth, or (later) a wire brush, used for the same purpose. 2. a. An instrument with iron teeth, used in pairs to part, comb out, and set in order the fibres of wool, hemp, etc., one of the cards being held in the hand, and the other fastened to a 'stock' or support. b. In later use a sort of wire brush for the same purpose, consisting of a strip of leather, vulcanised rubber, or similar material, into which short steel wires are inserted. These strips are fixed on a flat surface or on the cylinder of a carding-machine, and the wool is passed between two sets of them working with each other. I think the confusion comes between definition 1, which can be teasel-based but is used for raising the nap of woven cloth, and definition 2, which is not teasel-based and is used for ordering the fibres of wool before spinning. (Note that this entry of the OED was first published in 1888; we now call these implements 'carders' not 'cards', but at the time this entry was written the former term referred to the user of the implements not the implements themselves.) So, can we see any medieval evidence of this distinction? Possibly - contrast these two images. Luttrell Psalter (British Library Add. MS 42130), c. 1320-40, Lincolnshire, England. Spinning with a 'Great wheel' and carding. Some theorise the red lines over the circle are rolags. Note how the carders look very much like modern ones, except possibly they are flat not curved. Mendel Hausbuch, f. 6v, c. 1425: Peter Berber, Carder. This clearly shows two teasel-based cards being used to raise the nap on woven cloth. Here is a later example showing similar tools to those used by Peter Berber. Carding wool using teasel frames. Coloured print. George Walker, c. 1814, England. Note how the cards used in the latter two images are very similar to this: "Teasel cross" National Trust Inventory Number 117317.14 On display at Lavenham, Suffolk. The teasel cross, also known as a teasel hand, was superseded by the teasel gig. This consisted of a large cylindrical drum which was coated in teasel heads. A beautiful example is on display at the National Wool Museum, Dre-fach Felindre, Wales (see photos here). Information at the museum describes how the teasel gig's teasels were maintained and replaced by an specialist 'teasel man' who travelled from mill to mill. The teasel gig itself was later superseded by a similar machine which used metal teeth instead of teasels. This development would probably have had the medieval London Clothworker's Guild turning in their graves. Their ordinances often refer to malpractice whereby clothworkers resorted to using wire-toothed cards as a substitute for teasel cards, resulting in inferior cloth (see here). Thus, in summary: teasels were used in 'cards' for 'carding' wool. However, these were cards for carding (i.e. raising the nap) of woven wool, not cards for carding (i.e. ordering the fibres of) wool fibre. There is evidence for the use of these in medieval Europe. However, note too that the teasel heads do not appear to have been used singly but were instead mounted on a small, hand-held wooden frame. This is not to say that teasels were never used to order the fibres of wool prior to spinning, e.g. in prehistory. That is outside of the scope of my brief discussion. However, I think it is reasonable to claim they were not used in this way in 14th and 15th Century Europe. Do you have any medieval evidence for the use of teasels for ordering fibres of wool prior to spinning? I would love to know. (The Lutterell Psalter is from the British Library. The Mendel Hausbuch is from here. Teasel cross is from the National Trust Collections.)

For this sushi themed friendship card, I used the Soy Awesome stamp set from Hero Arts. For the background I used Speckled Eggshell cardstock. I decided to work right on the cardbase. I added a piece of Gotta Have Gingham paper to the bottom, to make it look like a table cloth. I stamped some of the images from the set and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used: Teapot: R32 - R35/ C2 - C3 - C5/ E31 - E35 Sushi: R01 - R32/ G43 - G46/ E000 - E00 - 0 Board: E31 - E35 Cup: C0 - C2 - C3 - C5 Bottle: G43 - G46 I fussy cut the images and added highlights to them with a white gelly roll pen. I adhered them to my cardbase. The sentiment was stamped in Wild Rose and Cranberry Ink, from Lawn Fawn. A perfect card for a sushi-lover.

We spent a few days recently learning about the Industrial Revolution. My Smarties are going to be taking a final exam in social studies, which is based on a DBQ, so I wanted them to have a little practice with primary and secondary documents. Have you seen this picture of Addie? This famous photograph is by Lewis Hine. I started by putting Addie's picture up on an anchor chart, and giving my students a similar copy for their interactive notebooks. For homework, I asked them to make observations about the picture, and write them down in the notebook. The next day, we discussed what we observed, and I wrote their observations in BLUE marker on the anchor chart. Any observations that they didn't have were added to the notebook. There was a great discussion about the inferences they could make about young Addie, and of course I made them back it up with at least two pieces of text evidence, either from the actual photograph or from what we had read in our text book. Then, we read an article: Searching for Addie The Story behind a Famous Photograph by Elizabeth Winthrop. After reading and discussing the article, we added information from this secondary source in GREEN on the anchor chart. We had a great discussion about the information you can gather and how it is different based on whether it is a document, photograph, primary or secondary source. Finally, we started our DBQ on the positive and negative effects of the Industrial Revolution. I went over each document and question with my students before providing them the TDEC organizer for writing. I love the insightful comments they were making when they had to look closely at a second photograph from Lewis Hine. Kudos to my Smarties! Hang in there, we can almost see Friday!

As I was finishing up my report cards a few weeks ago. I noticed that MANY of my students were FAILING not meeting the standards in fluency. I always talk about fluency, but I've never really stressed it. My teammates also had the same problem. They suggested that we all start doing Fry Phrases. I found a fabulous set of Fry Phrases for free from Ocean's of First Grade Fun. She made the first 3 lists all cute and typed and COLOR CODED. How did she know my OCD self I would love and need these! :) I've also started using Jodi's Fluency packs. Ohmyword. There is about THIS MUCH in these packets. They are Ahhh-mazing! They are also great for vocabulary and comprehension. Then, as one of my Daily 5 mini-lessons, I did a fluency lesson. I want my kiddos to know what fluency is so that they can have it! :) I made these posters to help them remember. I only went over one poster a day. I showed them non-examples and then good examples of each one. So, for example on day one, I did explained rate. I read a poem SUPER fast. I had to give me a thumbs up if I had a good rate or a thumbs down if I had a bad rate. They gave me a THUMBS DOWN! I was too fast! Then, I read it too slow. I bet you can guess what happened next. Yes, they gave me another thumbs down. I finally read it just right. I got lots of thumbs up and even a few thumbs down. With each poster there is also an action: Rate- Not too fast and not too slow {they pretend to run slow and run fast- with their arms} Expression- Don't sound like a robot {they do the robot dance- channel your inner 80's dance moves} Accuracy-Read the words right {they do a check mark in the air with their pointer finger} Punctuation- Read the punctuation marks {they make an exclamation point in the air} Then, once a week, after I do a running record on a student, I quickly have them fill out this self-assessment. We then set a goal on what they will work on. Any other fluency tips for my 1st graders?
