Description
Another picture from Barlow Common, these are dried Teasels, they were and still are used to raise the nap on cloth or wool, they have been largely replaced by metal ones now in industrial use but are still fastened to teasel racks in small enterprises as the teasel hooks break rather than tear the fabric as the metal ones would do.
There seemed to be so many growing here in the wild.
Thanks for taking a look, Rob

Teasles, the perfect back scratchers.. reach the parts that other bristly things cannot reach. Excellent capture.. they are mighty fine specimens Mr M x
