| Re: teazle, teasel
hi Arcy, I thought you might like to know the origin of the name "teasel".
Teasels produce a large egg-shaped seed head covered in spines. These spines form a natural comb, and in the early days of the textile industry, the seed heads would be fixed to frames and used to comb fabrics like wool, "teasing" the fibres to align them and raise the nap - hence "teasel".
