Old Wool Technology Will Baffle Modern Generations

A family's household from Maramureș, Romania, has ingenious water-powered installations still standing. The carding machine, the whirlpool, and the fulling mill use wood and river water for processing wool into felt, being employed by the locals to comb, wash, and harden the woolen fabric. #sheepfarming #wool (Read the article on our Blog: peasantartcraft.com/tradition... )
The lady of the house, Haiducean Juja, had guided us through the production of felt and fulled wool.
The village tailor, Marinca Vasile had introduced us to the unique woolen clothes specific to Maramureș.

This process is similar to Hutsul wool from Ukraine. A handmade item is put into river water for felting. Hope these traditions last, no chemicals in clothes or kitchenware or skincare or food, hopefully
