Need help with identifying this plant that used to be part of the wool weaving industry (before mechanisation) to untangle the fibres.
Road side and in old property lands and in this case Adams lakeside.

In the country areas where we live near the Ohio river- where an old farm or cottage has stood in the past these plants still grow where previous peoples have used them.
What a beautiful place!
They used this plant to untangle fibers? wow!
