Traditional way of processing wool

[operacat1]

Subtitles, please!

[fillmystocking]

Yes, subtitles or translation PLEASE someone, and a more accurate title and description. Lovely to see, but the moving from wool processing to flax and then the dying of wool is not going to be clear to everyone and that's a shame. And I'd like to be sure of what is exactly happening with the wool dying, the fleee going in looked black to begin with. : >

[ableestatesales]

Loved this video.......

Avery american woman should be sent to serbia to learn how to do real work like these women professionally illustrate, hell my ex girlfriend wants days of thank yours for cooking dinner one night.

I am a 70yr old woolspinner and thought this was the most wonderful video on preparation and spinning both flax and wool I have ever seen. I agree with the post below what an experience to be able to sit and spin with them....The speed they are doing the preparation must create some muscle!!!! chrissy

[tappanserbgirl]

Just Beautiful ! ~~~~~Thank-you for posting this video :) ~~~I wish I could be in Serbia with these women and learn everything from them~~~That is my one and only wish !!

[MrsBartos1]

Please subtitles, someone!

[alpinamarmota]

Wow such a beautiful video!

Peaceful, rustic, and faithful atmosphere.

[sradefarras]

I didn't understand a word but the music, the video, the contents filled me with so much peace. Thank you for uploading. I'm a new knitter and I'm getting interested in spinning too but here where I live it's quite impossible to start spinning. i live in Barcelona, Spain.

[jenadina]

I would love to know the name/artist of the song in this video. It's beautiful!

[lanadingarac]

@jenadina

The name of the artist is Bora Dugic. He is the best serbian flutist. The title of the song is "mesecina" (moonlight). Just type this in the search box and you will find the song (I tried to post the link, but couldnt)

and flax - the stuff she was combing on the floor was flax.

Loved the video - very romantic impression of a time gone by.....

[Halalsilks]

Sometimes my grandparents tell me how good modern life is for kids but sometimes I wished I lived like this. Simple life, with simple worries

[operacat1]

@yomama111336 Hmmm....yes, I think we might fall into the danger of over-romanticising this simple life....it was probably hard, unrelenting drudgery most of the time!! But the spinning gave them a chance to sit down, relax and chat together....

[MrHappyebby]

I speak serbian and they are talking about making a sweater for a friend named Borat.

[ragde114]

this is a very simple life. that people in the city don't have it. Of the very wonderful life. 

[maxsannie]

Fantastic video and music. The ladies are awesome. Love watching how they prepared the fiber.

[ClubPenguinRocksCRM]

Thanks I used this ideo to do my homework!

[pfotojenik]

Oh Heck NO! That is freaking awesome! They processed it by hand the way nature intended it. These ladies are patient and talented. Great video.

[AnaMari00]

While doing it they would sing and dance.They hoping to teach this traditional way to their sons wife's and transfer on them their knowledge.

The way they color is that they peal skin of outside hard shell of chestnut and cook it (they just mentioned chestnut but i remember this from my great grandma

[AnaMari00]

Absolutely beautifu!!!T

This is the exact way my great great grandmother tought me how to spin.

At the beginning of video they great each other .Then they start talking how back in the day they would get together to spin but there were more women doing so.

[operacat1]

@AnaMari00 I think probably people spun this way all over Europe prior to the Industrial Revolution.....I've seen photos of Shetlanders in the 19th century, and the wheels and spindles are very similar to these.

[Nominaaa]

beautiful , thank you

[lacabrahilando]

Yes - thank you for this video! I´ll see it again and again, than I start to spin flax. :) With what is coloring? And respect for this kind of living! I think that the most of us are sitting in a warm house with electric light. How much can this woman teach us to life! If they need an apprentice I´ll come to learn. Greetings for this lady´s!

[gossemerwings]

WOW~ SO AWESOME! Now THAT'S some rolag!!! LOL! ;D I had a feeling that was flax toward the end, I feel like we are watching some of the pioneers of the fiber world! I wish this had english subtitles, but I'm going to post this in my Ravelry group, and yes~ thank you ladies for showing us how it's done! Big huggys~ Dora :)

[amesville]

That was fascinating!

[shedata]

So universal! Also shows flax preparation ( the tan, longer fibers part), which becomes linen thread. Hot pot may be indigo dying too.

[Clothos60]

Not indigo -- indigo is a fermentation process. As AnaMari says, it's probably chestnut shells and probably some iron to get it really dark. Adding iron to any dye mix will "blacken" the colour to some degree.

[silverleat]

Wonderful - Thank you to all who took part in this and made it possible -

[sylvchezplum]

Great video, wonderfull to see how they do it.. I didn't miss subtitles though, we understand what they do and I prefer to hear them untranslated !

[pinkveneer]

thanks! so great :)i loved seeing all the black clothes + wool on the fence :)

[shelster]

This is so helpful with my fashion class. Thanks for posting this!

[desertdreameraz]

I'm an American hand spinner. It's wonderful to see how, despite language and geography differences, spinning truly binds us together wherever we are.

[mypreciouss]

Beautiful video; very interesting; great music; subtitles would be awesome; thank you for posting this!

[riverrim]

Thank you so much for this video! I so enjoyed seeing how things were done, it is beautiful!

[swastionly]

wonderful.......it wld be great if u cld add a few english subtitles ot the video....

this even people of other countries will get greater insight into the Serbian tradition of spinning wool....

[lanadingarac]

I am so glad you liked it. Yes, I agree with you, English subtitles are necessary.
