Laineuse : Machine utilisée [...] pour lainer les tissus. La laineuse comprend un grand tambour supportant une série de petits cylindres (de 24 à 36) garnis de pointes métalliques fines [chardons métalliques]. Le sens d'inclination de ces pointes varie alternativement d'un cylindre à l'autre. Tous ces cylindres tournent, et le tissu à traiter se déplace à leur contact. L'action des pointes métalliques sur un des éléments du tissu [...] développe à sa surface un aspect duveteux caractéristique.
