Tucking
TUCKING (Wool)
Felting process by which Irish frieze is prepared. The fabric is treated to a prolonged washing or sousing in a carefully prepared solution, slowly heated up to boiling point, and then as slowly cooled again. This process shrinks and thickens the cloth to such an extent that it is almost impossible to separate one thread from another.
