Teasel Plants Used For
Teasels are used in the making of woollen cloth. The common tasel grows wild in England and Wales and southern parts of scotland. It is also found in Europe, Asia and North Africa.

The teasel has large prickly flower heads which remain on the dead stems through out the winter. The actual flowers are tiny deep lilac florets and round the base of the flowerhead there is a ring of spines. The stem and leaves are prickly and the leaves are joined at the stem to collect rain-water.

There is also a garden teasel called fuller's teasel, which has little hooks at the end of the spines, or bracts, surrounding the base of the flowerhead. This is the teasel that is used in the making of woollen cloth. is it interesting? :D

The cloth is brushed up with the teasels so that the fibres of wool become separated from each other. This is known as "Teasing".
This is some pictures of woolen Cloth.
