The vocabulary of the wool industry has entered the English Language in roundabout ways. Centuries ago, the family’s eldest daughter, the spinster, assumed the household’s spinning duties. In processing wool stretched cloth was hung on tenterhooks. When some hapless victim was fleeced, there might have been a certain amount of pulling the wool over their eyes. The reel on which the wool is spun is the weasel, when a preset amount of yardage is reached pop goes the weasel. Virgin wool is wool that has never been used while fabric made from reclaimed wool is called shoddy. Daydeaming is, of course, a form of woolgathering.
The above information is guaranteed genuine, certified, dyed in the wool!

Do not park on the street on the same side as the Art School as this is a tow away zone.
