Abstract

Felt is made from autumn wool (mochr). It is made as follows. Clay is spread on the ground and a cow skin is put on it. Then wool is spread evenly on the skin. Four or five women sit around and beat the wool with long sticks. The longer you beat the wool, the better. It turns into soft material resembling down. In the past, people counted their beating movements. Afterwards, the wool is sprinkled with water, beaten again with sticks, and rolled on the ground.
