Chapter 908: Novel Sweater

The ancient people did not know how to weave wool. They would just peel off the skin and nitrate it into a whole piece of sheepskin, and then cut and sew it into clothes or hats.

Qiao Ran taught the workers in the workshop to wash the sheared wool, make strips, dye it, spin it, and then weave the wool into yarn for weaving cloth.

Only then did everyone realize that in addition to cotton, linen, silk, etc., wool could also be used to spin yarn and weave cloth to make clothes.

The quilts stuffed with wool were also extremely warm, many times warmer than the quilts they had previously made with reed fluff, willow catkins, kapok or even straw.

Moreover, Qiao Ran also discovered that these ancient people did not know there was such a thing as a "sweater".

In her opinion, sweaters are convenient, beautiful, and warm, and can be knitted into various patterns if one is skillful. They are many times better than the rough and old-fashioned cotton and linen clothes of ancient times.

Then, Qiao Ran taught the girls and women in the village to hand-knit sweaters using the spun coarse cotton and wool threads.

In fact, Qiao Ran had never knitted sweaters in her previous life, but even if she had never eaten pork, had she never seen a pig run?

In this information-rich age, everything can be seen on the Internet, so she roughly knows how to knit a sweater.

Knitting sweaters soon became the favorite "leisure entertainment" of women in Qingshui Village. Whenever they had some free time, they would take a few bamboo knitting needles and a ball of wool and knit wherever they went.

On the large square at the entrance of the village, several or a dozen aunts or unmarried girls sit on small benches and chat while knitting sweaters with their hands. They also exchange a few words from time to time and compare whose knitting is more beautiful.

Qiao Ran only taught them a few simple tricks, but they loved them very much.

Those who were clever and skillful even slowly created other patterns. Sweaters of various colors and styles were born in Qingshui Village, Devil Valley, on the outskirts of the capital of Dai Viet Kingdom!

As soon as these sweaters were put on the shelves in Shenxian Valley Supermarket, they immediately caused a sensation.

"What kind of fabric is this? How come I've never seen it before?"

"Could it be from outside? We don't have such thick and soft clothes in Dayue."

"It feels so comfortable to touch! It's so soft! It will be so warm to wear this dress when it's cold!"

"Is this a dress? How do I wear it? It has four holes in it. Is it a scarf?"

"Hey, isn't that a stand? He's made to look like a human, and he's wearing this sweater. Isn't that how you dress?"

"So this is how you put it on, but it feels weird. It's so short and there's no straps or anything. Will it be comfortable to wear?"

"Look at the price! One hundred to five hundred taels per piece! How come this... this is more expensive than a brocade dress? Only a fool would buy it!"

"That's right, it's too expensive, I won't buy it..."

Qiao Ran came to the supermarket today just to see how the wealthy people in Beijing accept sweaters.

Listening to a group of ladies standing beside a wooden model pointing and commenting on the sweaters, from their initial surprise to their final complaints about the high prices, she just watched with a smile and said nothing.

"Ran Ran, isn't the price of that sweater a bit too high? Although there are many rich people in Beijing, this is the first time that everyone has seen such clothes. I'm afraid no one would be willing to spend such a large amount of money to buy a strange piece of clothing that they have never seen before, right?"

Qiao Erhe also heard those people's discussions, and walked over and said with some concern.

Qiao Ran was not worried at all, and smiled and comforted:

"Uncle, don't worry. These rich people are more receptive to new things than you think, and many of them are willing to be the first to try. Just wait and see, someone will want to buy it soon."

Hearing her confident words, Qiao Erhe felt relieved.

Although he was not sure, Ranran was so confident that he felt that what she said must be right.
