Chapter 150: Spinning Wheel Spinning

After breakfast, Merlan proposed to go to the lumber storehouse, where the wool had been sheared, and then the wool should be spun.

It still takes a lot of work to make a spinning wheel, but the carriage is made, and the spinning wheel is naturally no problem!

The structure of the spinning wheel is not complicated, it is composed of 4 parts: a wooden frame, a spindle, a rope wheel and a handle.

This kind of hand-spinning wheel is relatively simple and easy to use, the most important thing is that it is all wood, and the raw materials do not have to worry.

Mo Lan told Han Che Jinyu about the structure and principle of various parts of the spinning wheel, and then began to build it.

There were many snow ape people who volunteered to help out of curiosity, so the components of the spinning wheel were quickly completed!

Mo Lan assembled it, fixed it completely, and a hand-spinning wheel was made.

"Patriarch Jinyu, let the wool that was sheared yesterday be brought over, and let's experiment with the performance of this spinning wheel!"

Mo Lan sat on the small bench and said as she shook the spinning wheel up and down.

"Good!" Jinyu agreed, and immediately ordered the tribesmen to carry out all the animal skins and wool.

Mo Lan grabbed a ball of wool, twisted out a head, and then wrapped it around the spindle, then held the handle with his right hand and began to rotate slowly, and his left hand loosely held the wool ball little by little, and stopped if there was a weak silk thread. Gently twist it with your fingers.

In this way, shaking round and round, gradually the snow-white wool thread began to wrap more and more on the rope wheel, accumulating thicker and thicker, and the white flowers were eye-catching.

The people around them widened their eyes in surprise when they saw this scene.

"This wool has turned into lines!"

"What's going on?"

"It's weird! Is this a spinning wheel? Can use wool as a spinning wheel? ”

"It's so white and soft wool thread, if it's made into clothes, I don't know how beautiful and comfortable it will be!"

Everyone in the Snow Ape Clan was extremely surprised and amazed, and was completely shocked by Mo Lan's hand-spinning skill!

Seeing that everyone looked interested, Mo Lan immediately beckoned to them, "Does anyone want to come over and try it?" ”

"Me!"

"I want to too!"

"I want to too!"

It didn't matter what Mo Lan said, and immediately several Snow Ape Clan women spoke, with eager expressions on their faces.

Harrie was the first to speak, then pulled the other two women over and said, "Miss Meran, we want to try!" ”

"Okay, come, I'll teach you the essentials!"

Moran immediately got up, sat Harriet in front of the spinning wheel, and taught her the ropes.

Harriet listened attentively and soon became familiar with how to spin, so she began to slowly shake the handle with one hand, and pull the thread back and forth with the wool ball in the other.

Although the thread was occasionally torn off due to excessive force, under the guidance of Mo Lan, Harrie finally stopped breaking the thread and spun the wool into white lines little by little.

"I made it! I spun it out! ”

Harry's excited little face flushed, and her smile was like a bright spring flower.

"Come on, it's me! It's my place! ”

The other two women were already urging them impatiently, and Harrie got up and gave way to them.

Mo Lan saw a few people rushing to spin the thread, and said with a smile: "No need to rob, everyone has a share!" ”

As he spoke, he turned back to Han Che and said, "Let's make a few more spinning wheels!" You see, it's not enough! ”

Han Che nodded, there is a lot of wood, and there is a lot of wool, so it is also appropriate to make a few more, otherwise this big animal skin wool will be spun for a long time.

"String, Lan Qiao, come and help!"

Han Che greeted the two and continued to make the spinning wheel.

And when Jinyu saw it, he immediately turned around and ordered: "Ah Yigu, Pis, you bring a few people to give Minister Han a hand, whatever you need, just go and get it." ”

"Yes!"

Several powerhouses of the Snow Ape Clan immediately received their orders.

The scene was immediately busy, making spinning wheels and spinning threads.

After instructing Harry and the three of them to learn how to spin, Mo Lan picked two finger-thick sticks of wood from the wood, and began to chop and sharpen, I don't know what they were doing?

When Jinyu saw it, he immediately walked over, squatted down beside Mo Lan, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?" ”

Mo Lan was busy with the work in his hands, and replied without raising his head: "Make a pair of stick needles!" ”

"Stick pins? What is that? ”

Jinyu immediately asked curiously.

"Tools for knitting sweaters! When the yarn is spun, it can be knitted into various warm clothes with rod needles. Sweaters, woolen pants, scarves, sweaters, wool gloves! Wool is extra comfortable and warm, so it's perfect for winter! ”

"Oh, that sounds good? Can you weave? ”

Jin Yu looked at the unformed rod needle in Mo Lan's hand with interest.

"Of course! I can also weave a lot of patterns! Later, I will show you a wool scarf, which is very warm and practical! ”

As she spoke, Mo Lan picked up the semi-finished rod needle and looked left and right, and felt that it was almost there, so she began to polish it on the stone.

"I'll help you!"

Jinyu raised his hand and picked up the other two rod needles beside Mo Lan, and polished them on the stone in the same way as Mo Lan.

"It's good!" Mo Lan nodded, and then instructed: "Sharpen the two ends of the rod needle, and grind the middle section smoothly and smoothly until there are no barbs." Be sure to polish it smooth, otherwise it will be very difficult to weave! ”

"yes, I see!"

Jinyu nodded, doing it very seriously.

At this time, Mo Lan seemed to remember something and said, "That's right! Later, we will make a loom and a blanket press, which can weave wool into wool cloth, and wool that is not in good condition into blankets to be used as quilt covers. In the future, you can spread blankets on the wooden bed and cover the blanket quilt, so you don't need to cover the smelly and prickly fur anymore! ”

"Loom? Blanket pressing? ”

Jinyu was puzzled again when she heard this. I just wanted to ask something more, but I was interrupted by Mo Lan raising his hand!

"Oops! Don't ask! In order to save time, we still act separately, and when the rod needle is done, we will divide up and work together, so that it is faster! ”

Jinyu had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, I'll listen to you!" ”

After that, he instructed the clansmen on the side: "Rosen." Locke, you guys take a few people to help Miss Morlan! What does Miss Mo Lan say, how do you do it! ”

Rosen and Locke immediately said, "Yes, Patriarch! ”

"Go get wood, I need ......"

Mo Lan thought about it and reported the wood she needed.

Lawson and the others immediately went to fetch it and handed it to Mo Lan.

"Miss Mo Lan, what else do you need?"

Rosen asked.

Mo Lan looked at the wood, picked out three of the larger ones, and said to Rosen, "Plane these three planks, and then chisel out the tenon and mortise at the edges." ”

At this point, she paused, looked up, and said, "Do you remember the tenon joint?" We used it yesterday when we built the carriage, and we taught you! ”

Rosen and Locke thought about it, and then they remembered the tenon joint method that Mo Lan said, which didn't seem to be very complicated. So he nodded and said, "Miss Molan, leave it to us!" ”

"Okay, then let's divide the labor, it's faster!"

After Mo Lan finished everyone's work, he began to continue planing wood. At this time, Han Che walked over, reached out and took the planer in her hand, and said, "You rest for a while, I'll help you do it." ”

Mo Lan wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Let's go together!" The sooner you make it, the better!

"But you're ......," Han Che looked at her worriedly.

Always boiled like this, I don't know if her body can eat?

"Don't worry, I can hold on! I just want to change to Golden Lotus early and go home early! Although the Snow Ape Clan is very good, I still think that our Flame Wolf Clan is more comfortable to live in! ”

Really, a few days after she came out, she actually ...... Homesick!
