While spinning, I listened to an old BBC production of Shakespeare's
As You Like It. The conversation between the fool and the shepherd went by pretty quickly but I caught some things relevant to wool production. I am pretty sure I heard the word tar in connection with sheep shearing, which I'd heard about before. (They would daub tar on places they accidentally nicked, in order to keep flies out.)
