Chapter 87: The Women's Handwork
To make a bow and arrow, the most important thing is the string.
Bai Guoguo and Chongyi discussed for a long time, and finally decided to try it with the tendons of the wild wolf first.
As for the tendons of other animals, there is no way to try them at the moment.
Because it's all made into jerky, it's useless.
For doing this kind of handicraft, Ginkgo fruit is really not good at it, so it can only provide a theoretical support, as well as some suggestions that are not recommendations.
As for the rest, it can only be left to the heavy wing and the men to study.
The bow and arrow matter was handed over, and Bai Guoguo took the women to continue to do the handiwork.
Today, the women of the tribe have learned to use needles and threads to sew things.
Although Bai Guoguo could not provide enough cloth for them to make clothes and bedding, there was nothing else in the tribe, and the furs were piled up in piles.
The needles in Bai Guoguo's hands are all embroidery needles, which are not easy to use to sew fur, so Chongyi led people to finely polish the original stone needles.
In this way, leather coats, leather skirts, leather pants, and even bedding pillowcases, which are much more elaborate and detailed than before, are sewn out in this way.
In addition to these, these women also learned the simplest and most basic weaving scarf from Bai Guoguo.
As for sweaters, woolen pants or anything, Bai Guoguo didn't try it.
It's not that I don't want to, but I don't want to at all.
Fortunately, some of the women in the tribe were smart, and after listening to Bai Guoguo's mention, they privately took the rattan rope for experiments.
Not to mention, I really figured out how to weave sweaters and sweaters.
It's just that when Bai Guoguo saw it, he was speechless for a moment.
The impression of sweaters and pants is knitted tubes, but the women in the tribe have studied two pieces, and then sewn the edges with threads, so that it becomes a "sweater".
Although the method is a little weird, it can be worn with sewn things.
Bai Guoguo saw that everyone had a way, so he saw that the backlog of wool in the warehouse was dedicated, and asked them to sew sweaters and pants for the elderly and children first.
When the wool was being prepared, it happened that a shop was closed, and the whole thing was packed and recovered.
There are not many of them, and it is obviously impossible to want to sew clothes for everyone.
So, Dia found Bai Guoguo and asked a question, so that Bai Guoguo instantly had a solution to the yarn problem.
"Guoguo, the thing that was exposed after you cut that down jacket last time is the same as this one?"
Dia said, pulling out a handful of variegated hair from her pocket, and she couldn't tell what animal it had been stripped from.
Bai Guoguo only glanced at it, then shook his head.
"No, the hair inside the down jacket is duck down and goose down, which is not fluffy enough and is not suitable."
"Huh? So, if these hairs are filled into the clothes, nothing will work? ”
Dia looked disappointed, but couldn't help but want to make another confirmation.
"This, there should be some way!"
Bai Guoguo was not very sure, so he took the hair in his hand and played with it twice, and found that some of the hair was more than ten centimeters long.
Even if it is short, it is about three to five centimeters.
If you rub these hairs, can they be used as yarn?
Bai Guoguo's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly handed the hair to Dia, and said urgently: "Dia, can you use these hairs to make a rope?"
"Huh?"
Dia arrived unexpectedly, but still took her hair and began to rub it.
At first, the rubbing was not very smooth, and it broke off after rubbing.
But after repeated attempts more than a dozen times, a wool rope about half a meter long was displayed in front of Baiguoguo.
