Yesterday I learned via a fiber arts podcast that the surname Walker was derived from the profession of Scottish waulkers who took part in waulking: the process of fulling (felting) woolen handwoven fabric by foot to make them denser/warmer. #weaving
@kyle things I learned watching Outlander. lol
@katherined According to this expert weaver/waulker/folk singer on the podcast, Outlander wasn't too accurate :)
@kyle I’m (not at all) shocked!
