         To the carder.


         To the carder, to the carder!


         To [where] the carder is, and you card it.


         Where is there a carder? Here in the village?


         Ah, in Ve- Velingrad.


         There’s [one] in Yakoruda, and [one] in Velingrad.


         Right, right.


         They make it into threads.


         And they would make it into threads, or [also]


         into what we call hanks.


         What is that?


         into big hanks [of wool] – they’re this big.


         Aha.


         And you put that [onto the distaff] and you spin it.


         You spin it on the spindle.


         And when you finish spinning –


         Wait a minute, look here. [Is this what you do] with the spindle when –


         Ah that’s it! That’s how you spin.


         This part is below, and you do like this and this, and that’s how it happens.


         So you stretch it out like this and when it begins to go on the spindle, you twirl it.


         Right –


         And when you’re done then you wind it onto the yarn-crutches, and you wash it


         and put it to warp it, and arrange it on these, what we call these wooden –


         On the loom.


         We call them beams.


         Right.


         And you wind it up and put it on, and weave.


         Wait – but [what about] the dyeing? Who –


          Well, there’s dyeing, and then there isn’t dyeing.


         For dyeing there’s Pasosh [in] Velingrad.


         There’s white, homespun –


         Black and white.


         Black, and white, and there’s also multicolored.


         O.K. And who dyes them for you?


         [In] Velingrad ...


         Ah but –


         ... [and] Pazardzhik.


         But in the old days? Earlier? From way, way back?


         Earlier, earlier –


         And did you always go there, your ancestors here?


         No, nothing [like that]. Nothing.


         All our ancestors too –


         No. [We went] there. Everyone, but everyone went there.


         O.K.


         There aren’t, and weren’t, any dyers here. Only [in] Velingrad or Pazardzhik.


         Yes.


         And that’s [that part]. You begin to weave it, to make it into patterns.


         So tell me now how you weave [fabric] for a shirt, [and how] you weave for –


         [We] don’t [weave] shirts.


         No shirts. We don’t weave shirts.


         We only [weave fabric] for aprons, only for coverings, and such.


         To cover yourself [with].


         To cover ourselves.


         Aha. And those are woolen, right?


         Woolen, yes.


         [Did you weave] anything out of cotton?


         We don’t have anything cotton.


         No cotton that I –


         No, no. Nothing cotton.


         We buy that sort of thing – shirts, fabric.


         And was it like that in the old days?


         Uh huh.


         That’s how it was. Like it was …


         As –


         ... from the old [times] up till now. That’s just how it was.


         Aha.


         We buy those sorts of shirts.


         O.K. then. [When you weave] who tells you how to arrange the patterns?


         The dyer, the dyer. We look at the patterns and


         one [of us] looks at [what] another one [does], and arranges [the threads] that way.


         The yarn, the yarn …


         She looks at the yarn and –


         At the yarn the way you put it on [the loom]


         … different [colors].


         Different [colors] of yarn …


         Right –


         ... so as to fit the pattern, and then you follow it.


         So you decide for yourself. He – do you –


         Yes.


         Yes, yes, yes, yes.


         [So then] he’ll dye it for you,


         but you [decide] how to place it, which pattern goes where.


         Umhm.


         [You decide] where it will be.


         We call it [like this]: here’s the red, here’s the green,


         And over here, here’s the blue ones.


         Ah.


         All sorts, all sorts.


         So it all depends on you.


         Yes, on your brain [laughter].


         [laughter] That’s right. On your brain.


         On your brain.


         Uh huh. O.K. Now …


         You dye it yourself.


          … on the loom there, what kinds of parts does it have?


         Well, wooden ones. That’s what kind.


         Heddle.


         Nothing.


         What are their names?


         [There’s] a beam. One in the front, and one in the back.


         A beam – one over here, and one over here.


         In the middle where you thread the heddle.


         In the middle – that’s how you thread it.


         The heddle.


         The heddle, the heddle.


         Uh huh.


         Yes, yes, yes.


         And this, and this?


         Here where you grab it, it’s called battens.


         Right, and inside?


         This, that, you assemble it, and –


         And inside the battens, what’s in there?


         [A piece of] wood.


         [unintelligible]


         No, it’s not wood!


         There’s this –


         He’s [asking] about –


         That’s the battens.


         You’re saying [something else]; he’s asking you what’s inside, about the heddle.


         Yes, he says, “What’s inside, in the battens?”


         And that one is, that one is –


         The comb, the comb.


         You asked him. [It’s] the comb.


         Right, right.


         The comb, the heddle, and you hook everything up.


         And who makes the loom for you?


         There’s [people] here, our people –


         Here everyone makes their own.


         Here everyone will make it for you …


         So, and can you make yourself one?


         … out of wood.


         Well, the men make them.


         The men, the men.


         The men do it, women can’t.


         We buy them, we also buy them. Whoever is a craftsman makes [them] …


         … and we buy the loom from him


         The one who’s a craftsman makes one for himself.


         Right.


         That’s right.


         So did you all only work with wool?


         Well, we work with woolen things on the loom.


         There’s not much wool [to be had]. Each has only three-four-five head of sheep.


         All that’s pretty much gone by the wayside.


         There never was a lot of wool here.


         Some have three, four, or five [sheep], some have seven or eight.


         Some buy [wool].


         That’s how they ran things.


         Some people [even] buy wool …


         There aren’t large …


         … and make their own –


         … herds [around here] …


         What time is it?


         … to have produced a lot of wools. So you have to collect it


         over a year, or two. And then – weave it all!


         Aha.
