Anotations

Scope note:

Hand-held tools, typically comprising a series of teasel seed pods mounted onto a wooden frame and handle, used to brush the surface of woven cloth in order to raise the naps of the wool. Beginning in the 1860s, growing textile manufacturing mills began to replace these tools with automated napping gigs.
