From sheep to carpet
Although several days have passed, in my mind it’s still Saturday. OK, perhaps not exactly in my mind, but I still haven’t shown you all the photos of that day (and after this post there’s still more to come LOL!). One of the attractions available at Lunzjata Valley last weekend was Alda Bugeja, who demonstrated how sheep wool is worked into carpets in the traditional way… and that, of course, made for some nice lens fodder!
first the raw, washed wool is spun, not into gold, but into an even thread...
...and then it is woven on the loom
raw wool & finished products
What a pity there were no sheep around…
