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 –

32 (a) [1:02] and [then] you spin.

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,.

51 (a) [1:51] and it turns out nice
