3 (a) [0:07] “Habe” (thick felt),

4 (VZh) Hm.

5 (a) [0:08] “habe”, “habe”. They sew trousers of it. Earlier on they used to sew coats

6 (a) [0:13] but now they buy all that. Only for some trousers.

7 (VZh) And who – who spins that?

8 (a) [0:18] I can spin it!

9 (VZh) And how does that job get done?

10 (a) [0:21] Well, you card the wool in – they’ve got this [thing]

11 (a) [0:24] in Ustovo, and they card the wool [with it]. So you take it

12 (a) [0:28] and tear it up [into] distaff-size pieces, thin. And you spin, spin –

25 (VZh) “Kŭdelya”? Isn’t it “kŭdel”, “kŭdelka” [or something like that]?

26 (a) [0:49] Well, no. You call it the distaff. [For] wool –

27 (VZh) Mmhm.

28 (RA) Uh huh.

29 (VZh) And for the wool, what do you have to do before that, when –

30 (VZh) already from the time you finish shearing the sheep.

31 (a) [0:58] You wash it, comb it out, you card it – they card it at the factory –

36 (VZh) Mmhm.

38 (VZh) So does wool have different names depending on where

39 (VZh) you shear it from? Like if it’s from the sheep’s leg?

40 (a) [1:21] Oh! It’s different only where it’s more muddy. Those parts –

41 (a) [1:25] you can choose them for – to make something more simple.

42 (a) [1:28] But for something nice – for blouses or for something else [like that] –

43 (a) [1:32] you’ll look and find the nicer parts.

44 (VZh) Mmhm.

45 (a) [1:35] Hah!

46 (VZh) But isn’t there some other name that you call it, like “hip” for this here –

47 (a) [1:38] “Hips”, well that’s when it’s sort of muddy – a muddy [part]

48 (a) [1:41] of the sheep and you can leave it somewhere,

49 (a) [1:44] for something less good. But when we weave rugs and aprons,

50 (a) [1:48] everything in one place. You comb it and it gets carded,.
