An ancient process for the production of sheep wool blankets in Ukraine

You can buy such a blanket on our website dopdoc.shop/
Lizhnyk - is a Ukrainian blanket made of 100% natural sheep wool.
Lizhnyk is the unique blanket, invented by hutsul people that live in regions of Carpathian Mountains.
Contemporary masters of the blankets inherited knowledge and skills of this craft from their ancestors. Ruslana, woman from our video, is a contemporary master that learnt from her mother and grandmother. She showed us the key processes of blankets production.
The hutsul masters also invented patterns. First blankets were monochromatic. Further, people added colorful elements, such as strips or geometric figures. The patters you see in our video is called “Christmas star,” represented in most popular combination of colors, red, dark red and green on neutral basis.
Wool blanket production for simple Ukrainian folk is craft, art and business as well.
Here is the link on Ruslana’s Instagram: bit.ly/3kzuUii

翻訳アプリを通して書くのが面倒なので、日本語で失礼します。 「紡ぐ」流れが綺麗で、手仕事でここから始める人はすごいです。 今の時代、何かに急いでる人では「縒ること」や「織ること」にストレスを感じる人は多いと思う。 安易に買える時代だからこそ、逆に、こういう伝統や伝承の手仕事にありがたみを感じます。

[@kayaroots5386]

Яка краса! Дуже цікаво було спостерігати за вашою роботою. Дякую ❤

[@rustygold598]

It’s the leaders at war. I feel bad for all the innocent people while the elite launder money and create wars to aid agendas😢praying for all the countries at war due to their leaders.

[@BillyRazOr2011]

​@matrix_lines We aren't joking, seriously.

[@kotbayun6731]

:) my suggestion for you - read who Bandera, the national hero of Ukraine is. don't be kanadian

[@HappilyMundane]

The short was too short, came to watch the longer video. Still too short. I would gladly sit for hours and watch you weave from start to finish, or whatever the processes are called for gathering all the fibers and spinning them together for rope, then turning that rope into the blanket. Sadly such a thing probably wouldn't do too good for the algorithm. Hope you are well in Ukraine in these rough times. My heart breaks thinking about it.

[@tjcowling8989]

Absolutely breathtaking, you are extremely talented. Thank you for sharing this amazing piece of weaving 😊

[@aleshabrown5888]

All except the machine I'd be interested to know how that was done back in ancient times just hung up or would that stretch the fabric due to the water weight?

[@refiniaastuti235]

now I'm more curious about the washing station, how did the water mechanism work?
