Description: Estcourt, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa 11/2000The batts are transferred to the working surface. To mesh the fibres, hot water and wool soap are sprinkled over them and gentle pressure is applied with the palms of the hands to get the air bubbles out. Next the fibres are gently rubbed, without disturbing them too much. Santie advises using rubber gloves to prevent "wearing your fingerprints off."woman, women, working, rubber gloves, tables,
