Abstract
Tatyana talks about how to make felt. The ground for felt making is cleaned. A cloth is put on the ground. The sheep’s wool is spread on the cloth and moisturized with water. Then it is lashed with a long rod, rolled up, lifted and thrown to the ground. After unrolling, the felt is left to dry. Traditionally, felt was used to make matrasses and cushions. During a wedding, the bride kneels on a felt mattress in front of her in-laws.
