@@bumtras_matrasyea my grandpa gave me a really expensive wool sweater and it's so damn scratchy I can barely wear it but it was so expensive I feel bad 💀
@@bumtras_matras That's how we used them in polish winter! Thick down duvets made from cotton on your skin and the wooly blankets as an insulator on top. Rooms would get very cold during winter in older polish houses. But this way so much heat was trapped, you'd wake up with a cold head and a very warm body. Perfect balance!
I've noticed that we have many similar patterns with native americans and mexicans. I think it's because people long time ago used similar simbols to describe certain things.
I learned weaving in Brésil and I find this everywhere I learn something new-the pattern, the product, the tool all resemble one another! We share without even realising it, even across continents, and millennia!
@@milfox2187 us indigenous Americans didn’t have beads or looms before the Europeans arrived. These types of “native fashions” are actually new in our history. Tho yes, we have derived meanings over time.
I also think that looms inherently make creating certain types of patterns easier than others. While the patterns aren't exactly the same, it makes sense that you'd be able to find similarities.
meanwhile the couch blankets my country made were always so itchy even with full thick clothes u could feel it poke your thighs everytime u sit yeh idk why that was so common in ever house , not anymore thank God those things were a major annoyance not comfy at all
I am a weaver and fiber arts craftor. This is incredible. We have animals and one of the next things I want are sheep so I can make something from wool on the sheep we raise. Right now I'm raising rabbits and collecting and tanning the hides for rabbit fur blankets
I'd love to have sheep, too! A girl at my church is raising a lamb for 4H, and I've received some of her lamb's fleece to spin. It's so soft 🤗 Have you looked into angora rabbits?
We do in Iceland as well same techniques as well. Our sheep have long soft wool a pleasure to work with . Not the itch factor that some sheeps wool has. I have a one blanket for each bed & each sofa in the home ,as an extra over top of the down duvets for cold night. These last much longer than conventional blankets if washed properly.
In algeria we call it AZETA , now à days it mostly disappeared 😕 but some still perpetuate this beautiful tradition I always wanted to learn how to do it
As a spinner in America, I love seeing these centuries old, traditional methods of wool prep, spinning and weaving still being done. I'd like to know more about her spindle, and how to purchase one of those lovely blankets.
Susie, I am also a spinner and weaver. I would also like to know more about her spindle and the next steps in the spinning process. I pray she and her family are safe. If you learn how to buy something from them please forward it to me.
There's a really good video on here on the "Insider Business" channel called "Ukrainian Mountain Weavers Refuse To Surrender Their Traditions In War Or Peace" (thought I'd type it out as a quick search is safer than a link from a stranger). It's really good. The family in this video have an Etsy store called "Woven Wool Art". I bought a rug from them and it's absolutely beautiful 😍 Hope that helps!
stunning work. I really hope the old style and tradition don't get lost to progress.. Those transformations is truly a gift that shouldn't be lost.. just my opinion thank you for sharing this. ❤
I love any kind of fiber art and especially anything that’s handmade and I gotta say, those blankets are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. They sure do look scratchy, though. I know she said that he brushes them to make them softer but I wonder just how soft they really are. I want to reach through the screen and feel them so badly!
They are soft. One part of the process the Hutsul people do (& was not shown here) is they put it in a basin made within a mountain stream. The basins are made in such a way that the woven blankets churn & turn in the cold water, and get a little pummeled by rotating wood contraptions or by being constantly pushed under the churning water with wood paddles. This loosens up the structure and makes the wool softer. You can tell from Etsy comments about softness by purchasers of these rugs sold on that site. But, we are talking about items that are not worn directly on the skin.
i remember using the school loom in 3rd grade, i was so fascinated about who came up with the idea to make carpets and blankets like that, also it was so much fun i LOVED it
I have one of those babies in my basement/workshop, courtesy of my amazing granny! Our designs are a bit more intricate than that, but still, I'm glad to see people still making traditional blankets! ❤
When I move, hopefully I will be able to find a way to purchase a new blanket! These look wonderful and absolutely perfect to cuddle with after a long day
So for people who dont know, after the time of the socialist revolution, the socialists decided it was better to engage in Genocide than face rebellions. They moved many turkic people out of south russia and siberia and placed then in western russia where they had no family and moved white people they believed to be enemies to siberia and south russia to russianize the population. It worked, sort of, amd now there are very few people of pure tribal blood in many of these places.
If only we respected and appreciated the things that we bought. It’s not easy because most of our purchases are mass produced. Consumer culture really is a scourge on the planet.
Until fairly recent any textile required intensive hand labor to produce and using cloth as money is an ancient practice, in the 12th century standards for weaving were codified to standardize the “currency”. So not an exotic tribal practice to trade blankets, they were a necessity and a valuable commodity. This is a time capsule of the entire world pre 20th century.
In NZ we have something like that, that is pretty similar. Though we don't fluff them up, it's pretty simple patters (squares or lines, kind of similar to American flannels), and maybe made different? I'm not too sure how they're made but they're extremely itchy
It’s too bad they didn’t show the part of the process wherein they have the lyzhnyk tumble in a basin placed in the midst of a cold mountain stream. They let it tumble in the turbulence (or help it churn & tumble with wood paddles) for some time. The result is a softer and more pliable rug/blanket/cloth.
Мама розповідала, що її бабця мала традиційний ткацький верстат, що займав півкімнати. Шкода, що мені не довелося його побачити своїми очима, він не зберігся.
I'm getting sleepy just looking at those beautiful cozy blankets.
they are very warm and soft, i have one
@@dolores1900 woah ! are they expensive? i really want to buy them
tbh they are not that cozy.. they're very warm, but rly scratchy. i personally can only use them on top of another blanket

I love blanket making traditions. Every culture has them and they are always made with love...a physical embodiment of a hug!

Thanks for teaching people about traditional Ukrainian crafts and culture❤
I just love that everything she's wearing, she probably made. Her hat and boots look so cozy. 😊

It’s really beautiful! We do have a similar blanket style in Morocco , usually the grannies makes them as grand children’s weddings gifts.

These patterns are used by many cultures because they are easy to imagine while still looking beautiful. We have an eye for patterns
These are the kind of people and shops and goods that we need to be supporting! I would love to purchase a blanket from these people
In algeria we call it AZETA , now à days it mostly disappeared 😕 but some still perpetuate this beautiful tradition
I always wanted to learn how to do it
Beautiful carding, spinning, and weaving processes. ❤

I hope they, their families and their loved ones are well and safe 🙏, also loving their work ❤️
So beautiful and soft looking! what a perfect cuddle blanket in harsh winters
Beautiful ❤
Sending my love and prayers for the people of Ukraine❤⚘🤲
Ukraine ceased to exist in 2014. Most Ukrainians fled to Russia.
I'd bet they're really warm and would last a long time! anyone would be privileged to have one
Amazingly brilliant. Wish there was more to watch.

Hope that helps!
I see those blankets and I already feel warm and fuzzy inside ☺️🧡
That spindle looks so neat! I have a homemade drop spindle but I haven’t seen that kind
it's somewhat similar to a Scotch drop spindle or a Navajo floor spindle where you spin from the tip
stunning work. I really hope the old style and tradition don't get lost to progress.. Those transformations is truly a gift that shouldn't be lost.. just my opinion thank you for sharing this. ❤
That is gorgeous. I wonder how much they charge for one. Beautiful craftsmanship
Hundred dollars, maybe two for a large one
Wow incredible! Such Beautiful works of art! 😊
Hope they're in a safe area and not had their property destroyed. Slava Ukraine!
So beautiful. I’m glad people are still practicing these traditional crafts.
This is so amazing 🌻🌻🌻
I pray this family is safe, out of harms way.
Where do I buy one?
next to the burning tank and the muddy trench
@@BobuxGuy not funny man
@@BobuxGuy bruh
@@BobuxGuy the carpathians are about as far away as you can get from the frontlines while not leaving the borders of Ukraine.
They are so beautiful
Awe-some what a wonderful skill. Beautiful
Love this! They're so talented.!!
I would love to learn from them!

What a beautiful family and history❤
They are super cool and mega cozy! Try em, they're great!
I hope one day I can enjoy a good rainy afternoon with tea and a book snuggled under one of these blankets.
Beautiful so glad they carry on the tradition 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
These are actually pretty nice. I’ve been on the market for a decent blanket for a while.
eines der besten videos (die nicht fake sind) auf youtube!
gefällt mir sehr gut
Really beautiful 😍 a real art.
When I move, hopefully I will be able to find a way to purchase a new blanket! These look wonderful and absolutely perfect to cuddle with after a long day
I saw the whole video somewhere, and it was really cool! I knit, crochet, spin, and prepare fiber for spinning!
So much work to make those beautiful blankets
Wonderful skilled crafters, thank you for sharing it with us.
Beautiful 😍❤️
As a Canadian spinner and weaver, the yarn being so fluffy confuses me, it doesn’t feel like it would be strong enough to weave
I hav one !! Its bears a magical element ✨️
Beautiful!!!
This is so cool history is important 👍
I actually learned how to do this and it's a pretty relaxing activity! Especially fun if you're a kid also.
"a loom she inherited.."
Or should I say - *takes sunshades off* - a hairloom?
Ok bye
Дуже файно! Пишаїмося❤

Wow, that's pretty amazing!
The same type of blankets have been made for centuries in Croatia in the region Lika. The Croatian name for these blankets is - Biljac [bi:liatz]
I’d love to have one of those blankets for next winter!
I would like this as a wedding present
So beautiful. 🥰
those blankets look so comfy
When they did that to the rug at the end, my nose felt that...
Very beautiful ❤
If only we respected and appreciated the things that we bought. It’s not easy because most of our purchases are mass produced. Consumer culture really is a scourge on the planet.
Very Nice!
🇧🇷👍🏼
i would love a blanket like that
What a wonderful legacy
Amazing, and also that wool looks so soft... its sad it becomes so dang scratchy once spinned..
If you have something that's scratchy, you need to find a conditioning detergent that's made for wool. It helps soften the fiber.

How Beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
I wonder if those are machine washable, no doubt these are probably very expensive, but rightfully so because this is just extraordinary work.
the wood paddle things are called carders. They separate and detangle the strands to prepare for spinning the wool into thread 😊
that spinning technique looks cool! is it specifically for making chunky one-ply yarn?
Ohhh it looks so warm
It’s too bad they didn’t show the part of the process wherein they have the lyzhnyk tumble in a basin placed in the midst of a cold mountain stream. They let it tumble in the turbulence (or help it churn & tumble with wood paddles) for some time. The result is a softer and more pliable rug/blanket/cloth.
I honestly want one.
I remember learning these techniques at school many moons ago.
That looks so comfy
Using those paddles to separate the wool is called carding. I like the content in this video. Very cool :)
Beautiful
Unrelated, but that wooden ceiling is beautiful!
Such skill wow, bet that blanket is super warm too!
❤❤ Amazing ❤❤
….I really hope they’re still able to do this right now …..
This is the exact same technique we use in Scotland!
Would love to get one of these
Very very good. Please post more.
