Annotation for GLZ heating the Soil over an open fire for Wool Pre-Carding in Ghufti Village

Annotation captures GLZ from Ghufti village as she carefully heats the refined soil over an open fire. This heating step is a vital component of the overall wool preparation process. By heating the soil, GLZ ensures that it is free of any remaining moisture or impurities that could compromise its effectiveness in treating the wool. The heat causes the soil to become more porous and better able to absorb the natural oils, grease, and residual moisture present in raw wool. This absorption is critical because it helps to clean the wool, making it easier to work with in the subsequent stages of carding and spinning.
