all that new year furor weaving and tidying left me with a swollen ring finger on my right hand. downtime today.
i'm posting the last of the photos i took at the ethnography museum in ripoll.
besides wool, the town also had a thriving jute industry. jute was grown, spinned and manufactured into coarse cloth and sacks.
old barn loom.

Happy New Year Neki. Hope you had a nice holidays. Take care of that finger - Hugs Nat
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Weaving with jute? No thank you--that would hurt. Hope your finger feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteInteressante questo museo, quanta storia e quanta tradizione!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Neki! And take care of your poor hands. I worked a lot with jute back in the old macrame days of the 1970's. Gotta say it's scratchy and the fibres irritated my eyes and nose. Must have been pretty awful in the factory!
