12. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Abdollah Hallaj Rezaie, felt-maker:
"I weave the wool to make threads and colour them here. When sketching of the felt is over, I spread the beaten wool on it which is the foundation of work and we call it the mould. When spreading the wool is done, I pour hot water on it and then roll it."

31. Close-up of pieces of felt for sale
32. Mid of woman looking at a felt
33. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Shah Mohammadi (no first name given), custumer:
"Unfortunately carpets have been substituted felts. For example, a person like me who has a child does not lay out a felt in their room because it has tiny filaments. If people knew the benefits of felts such as they stay dry, are warm and are good for leg pain, and if they knew that how much effort and passion has been spent in making them, they would definitely frame them and put them on their walls."

Why would anyone dislike a video like this. Thank you for sharing your art work and God Bless every breath you take in this world
Jason Johnston thanks
I agree. What's to dislike other than some people are just naturally disagreeable.
Because they have more camera time on the guys face than the process. I clicked to see how it’s done like the title states, but it’s mostly their faces and talking in a language I don’t understand.
Just let people have their opinion. It's just as ok to like a video as to dislike it. It's an opinion, not a fact.
I'm from this region and I grew up seeing hand made items like this all around. These felt rags were my favorite one. And they always smell like sheep!
2:14 What is he using for rolling up the wool? Is that leather or tarp or something else?
Is there any way to remove the strong sheep smell from felt?
amazing! Thank you grandfather for showing us the way.
