"Yimu, since you agree, let's start doing it now! Listening to Han Che, the cold snap is coming, if we can make more clothes to protect against the cold, then this cold season, maybe there will not be so many casualties! ”

Sure that this needle willow could be used, Mo Lan didn't want to delay any longer, and immediately suggested.

Su Yi nodded when he heard this: "Okay, let's do it now!" ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand to the onlookers: "Listen, everyone, the Holy Witch is going to use needles and willow threads to weave cloth to make warm clothes for everyone, and everyone who is free will come to help!" Come, you guys, go and move two more stone pots! ”

Everyone was pleasantly surprised when they heard this, and immediately gathered around and began to help.

A few stone pots were set up and began to boil the needles together. Mo Lan called Xilu and a few other female orcs to come over, told them in detail about the process of boiling needles and willows, and then assigned them to the past.

Seeing that they could all start cooking needle willow, Mo Lan made a free hand and began to straighten out the boiled needle willow.

She tore the needle willow into thick and thin threads, and then asked people to bring a flat stone slab, and then found a more round stone, put the needle willow on the stone slab, and crushed it back and forth.

"Mo Lan, what are you doing here?"

Su Yi saw that Xilu and several other females had learned to cook needle willow, and she was also relieved, and turned to look at Mo Lan.

Mo Lan smiled while gently grinding the needle willow thread with a stone: "This kind of grinding can remove the floating skin and barbs on the surface of the needle willow, making it smoother, and the woven cloth will be softer and more close to the body." However, this process is a bit troublesome, and I will think of other ways to improve it in the future! ”

After grinding for about half an hour, Tang Qingting finally stopped, and the needle and willow thread in her hand was already smooth and not obscure, and she nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay?"

Sue looked over and asked.

"Well, next, I'll teach you how to weave this needle of willow thread into cloth using the warp and weft cross knitting method. Everybody help! I need a long Eury branch, to erect it, and two people to help me tighten the thread. ”

Mo Lan commanded, and someone immediately brought over the tools she needed and arranged them in her way.

Mo Lan looked at the Yuli branch that was erected by two branches, took a handful of needle willow thread, and began to tie it to the Yuli branch one by one, until there was a row of about fifty branches, and then stopped.

Then she picked up a needle willow thread as the weft, and explained while demonstrating: "See, after the warp is tied on the Yuli branch, take a weft thread, and weave the weft and warp together at one time according to the law of pressing, picking, pressing, and picking." Then, look at the second row, which is also pressed and picked, but this time it is just the opposite of the first row, first pick and then press. ”

Mo Lan said, picking up the weft and continuing to explain in detail: "Everyone can see clearly, that is to say, the second line that is pressed down by the first line will be picked up." The second row picked up by the first row will be pressed down, and so on. Then the third line is synchronized with the first line, and the fourth line is synchronized with the second line, and so on. Do you see? ”

"The first line, press, pick, press, pick...... The second row, pick, press, pick, press...... The third line is the same as the first line. The fourth line is the same as the second line......"

Several female orcs, including Xilu and Amai, boldly stepped forward to try, and soon mastered the key to warp and weft weaving.

"Yes, that's right! That's it, just keep making it up! Remember, if you don't add a weft, you have to tighten the warp and weft once. If the thread is not tightened, the hole in the middle is too large, the air leakage is not warm, and the second is not formed, the warp and weft threads must be tightly combined in order to weave a soft and delicate cloth! ”

Mo Lan asked people to make a few more Yuli racks, so that other clansmen could also try it.

And she was on the side to guide and teach, and in the evening, pieces of cloth the size of bath towels were finally woven! Although a few pieces look uneven and deformed because of the unskilled skills of the clansmen, the sight of these needle willow cloths still makes the clansmen very excited!

"Sister Mo Lan, do you think I knit well?"

Amai took the cloth he had woven and excitedly showed it to Mo Lan.

"Well, that's good! Amai is so smart, just a little bit! However, next time, you have to tighten the thread, otherwise it will not be delicate enough and uncomfortable to use! ”

Mo Lan immediately had the opportunity to educate and point out Amai's shortcomings.

"Hmmm! I know! ”

"It's so beautiful, so exquisite! Is this the needle willow cloth that can be used to make clothes? Mo Lan, can these things really make clothes? ”

Su Yi looked at the pieces of needle and willow cloth woven in the hands of the clansmen, and closed his mouth happily.

"It's not just about making clothes, it's about making a lot of things! For example, towels, handkerchiefs, hats, scarves...... That's a lot! ”

Mo Lan collected these square needles and willow cloth piece by piece, and then tied the end of the thread into a knot with a diamond knot.

Ah Mai leaned over and asked with a studious face, "Sister Mo Lan, why do you want to tie the knot?" How did you fight? I want to learn too! ”

"Good! I teach you. ”

Mo Lan smiled and lifted the half-knotted knot to show it to Amai.

"Look, pinch the thread with both hands, circle one around the other, pinch it, and then the bottom one also circles around the fingers, and then thread it through this hole, and finally tighten it, and a beautiful diamond knot will be tied!"

Mo Lan showed the knot to Ah Mai, who looked at the herringbone knot with curiosity and exclaimed: "With this knot, this needle willow cloth looks very beautiful!" ”

Mo Lan said: "Yes, the role of the tail knot, one is to fix the tail of the thread, so that the woven cloth is not easy to loosen, and the other is to make the cloth more beautiful." ”

"Well, I have to learn it!"

Ah Mai said with confidence on his face, picked up the needle and willow cloth, and seriously followed Mo Lanxue to weave the tail knot.

When the others saw that Amai and Mo Lan were learning the end of the knot, they also came over to watch it with great interest, and they followed along with the excitement.

"Holy witch, this needle willow cloth looks so beautiful, can we really use it to make clothes?"

"This fabric is soft and comfortable to the touch, and it doesn't smell bloody, it's much better than animal skin!"

Everyone surrounded Mo Lan and talked happily, and they couldn't put down all the needle and willow cloth woven by Mo Lan.

"Is that satisfying? You haven't seen a really beautiful fabric yet! Compared to those fabrics, this needle willow cloth is a small thing! When there are conditions in the future, I will teach you to weave patterns and dye, and then you will know what is beautiful! ”

Mo Lan's eyebrows fluttered and she said, causing the eyes of all the women of the Cold Wolf Clan to pop out!

"A cloth more beautiful than needle willow cloth? What does it look like? Tell us about it, Holy Shrine Maiden! ”

Mo Lan cleared her throat and said seriously: "Of course! This needle willow cloth is just the most ordinary kind of fabric, and it is much more beautiful than it! For example, I can weave beautiful patterns into fabric, I can dye the fabric as blue as the sky, as red as flowers, and I can embroider lifelike patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish on it with colored silk threads. As long as you can think and see, we can turn it into a pattern and wear it on the body! ”

"Oh my God! It's amazing! ”

Everyone was stunned!
