Black Wool

"Two women, one fat and the other slim, sat on straw-bottomed chairs, knitting black wool." (7)

These European women symbolize the Belgian Colonial Company manipulating the Africans in the Congo. They are shaping the black wool into their own pattern, just like the Company is enslaving the Africans to do their biddings.
