gilling

In scenery of this character stands Gilling Castle, the seat of the Fairfaxes for some three centuries.

The principle of gilling is to comb the fibers more and more nearly parallel and to draw them out into more even strands.

Follow the gilling by the operation of combing, which you will do by combing again, this time with a fine comb.

Gilling, who was unable to swim, was drowned, but the dwarfs righted the boat again and rowed ashore.
