I’m sure everyone remembers the article from 2020 where researches found three-ply cordage made by Neanderthals.^

But did you know that in the supplemental material for the article, it mentions that pine needles can be made into textiles?^^ As someone who works with textiles myself, I had come across pine needles as a dye stuff, but not as a fibre.

The source is listed as "L’acquisition des matières textiles d’origine végétale en Préhistoire" by Fabinne Médard. It talks about how other fibres, including brambles and broom could have been used prehistorically for a similar purpose, as well as flax. However, it contains only one metion of pine needles.

“Les aiguilles du pin sylvestre (Pinus sylvestris L.) fournissaient, après rouissage, une matière textile appelée « laine des forêts » qui remplaçait la ouate et l’étoupe dont on faisait également des tissus (Mathieu [1858] 1897)" * The needles of the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) provided, after retting, a textile material called “forest wool” which replaced wadding and tow from which fabrics were also made.

So Scots pine needles were processed, spun and woven, or simply used directly after processing, potentially prehistorically.

If you follow the source for the quote above, it takes you to a book from 1860 called Flore forestière; description et histoire des végétaux ligneux qui croissent spontanément en France et des essences importantes de l'Algérie. It says:

“On fabrique depuis quelques années, avec les faisceaux fibreux, allongés, et tenaces des aiguilles, une espèce de drap grossier.” ** For several years, we have been making a kind of coarse cloth using the fibrous, elongated and stiff bundles of the needles.

So this processing of pine needles was also happening in the 1800s.

Another souce from the 1840s describes the texture of forest wool as resembling "...horsehair, and has been used for stuffing mattresses"** and that an industry sprung up in Humboldtsau, near Breslau for processing it. Manufacturies for forest wool then spread to Sweden, Holland and France, which may explain the mention in the 1860 Flore forestière.

Despite looking a bit more, but couldn't find much else on the subject expect a recent masters thesis in German (which I couldn't access) and an article on the designer Tamara Orjola.

Orjola's work investigates the modern use of pine needle fabric, showing there is still interest in it. She says:

"Forest Wool began with research on the forgotten value of plants. Valuable local materials and techniques are left behind due to the unwillingness of mass-production to adopt more sustainable practices. In the old days the pine tree was used as food, remedies, to build homes and furniture and for many other purposes. Nowadays, it is only valuable for its timber." ***

I find the line from prehistory to now facinating - that people have looked to something as mundane as a pine needle to spin, especially as researchers are discovering a lot of what they thought was linen fabric is actually ramie (from nettles).

As far as I can tell, only Pinus sylvestris L. and one other variety was used. I am not sure what makes that tree more suitable than other pine trees, or if it was simply a question of availability. In terms of processing, the answer as far as I can tell is retting, presumably followed by scutching and hackling - similar to how flax is processed. However I have not done that myself and cannot speak to the specifics.

It would be something intresting to try though.

rating lego ambulances: the twenty-twenties

#10274 Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (2020)

this new, bigger ecto-1 falls in around the same place as the first one: you’re not buying this for its ambulance functioning, which is good, because it is not actually a very good ambulance thanks to all its ghostbusterness. 🚑 I’m tentatively allowing it to retain its five-ghost rating for ghost busting. it looks to be in a state of some disrepair, but it’s also gained some new gadgets that I’m sure make up for it. 👻👻👻👻👻

#41394 Heartlake City Hospital (2020)

Hrm. Definitely a downgrade from the previous version. Look at it, it’s all squished. 🚑🚑

#41445 Vet Clinic Ambulance (2021)

This one, on the other hand, is a definite upgrade from 2016, both the standalone #41086 and the pack-in from #10728. 🐇🐇🐇🐇

#60303 City Advent Calendar (2021)

OH MY GOSH LOOK AT IT IT’S SO LITTLE AND CUTE! 💗💗💗💗💗

#41694 Pet Clinic Ambulance (2022)

I think this is actually worse than the one from #10728. 🐶

#60330 Hospital (2022)

in 2022 lego introduced an incredible new color they call “vibrant yellow” and normal people call “hideous fluorescent greenish yellow” which they promptly distributed all over a whole range of different rescue vehicles. it is eye-searingly ugly. it is glorious. it is beautiful. and on top of that, this ambulance finally makes an attempt at the shape of modern ambulances with the big boxy rear section. the only problem is it uses stickers, and honestly I’ll forgive that in this case. it is perfect. be sure to wear eye protection. 😎😎😎😎😎

#60382 Vet Van Rescue (2023)

so the veterinary services have spread into lego city now. I wonder which one of these doctors is Vet van Rescue? anyway this is as mediocre as its friends predecessors but the lightbar is clever. 🐱

#60371 Emergency Vehicles HQ (2023)

our second ambulance of the hideous yellow era goes back to a more classic van look, and in fact is quite reminiscent of the one from #60204, complete with--you guessed it--stickers. now I would forgive that in light of the wonderful color choice, but unfortunately there is a second flaw: in order to get this, you have to also buy a police suv that has stolen the same hideous yellow for its own, likely to use it for evil. will the medic and the firefighter be able to defeat their common foe and regain control of the power to blind you? only you can decide. 🚑🚑🚑🚑
