yarn-crutch

Bangejci 2

38 (TD) əmi pòsl'e kət sə ispred'è pr'èždətə kvò jə pràit'e

And later, after the yarn is all spun, what do you do with it?

39 (a) əm či pr'èždətə jə mutàimi nə idnò mutuvìl'či̥ è təkvòs

Well then we wind it up on a yarn-crutch about the size

40 (a) è tɤ̀j kət bəstùn'enu səs vìluškə tùkə udòlu s vìluškə

of this cane-like thing with a fork – here below, with a fork,

41 (a) tùkə ìmə ràvnu tɤ̀j d'èt sə slàgə pr'èždətə

and here [where] it’s flat, where you put the yarn,

42 (a) i tɤ̀j gu pràvim nə grànici pòsli gu putup'àəmi fəf vudɤ̀

and then we аrrange them in skeins. After that we soak it in water

43 (a) də sə upɤ̀ni tɤ̀s pr'èždə kət sə upɤ̀ni pr'èždətə i kətu isɤ̀:ni

so the yarn will stretch out. And when the yarn is stretched out, and dry,

44 (a) sn'èməmi jə ut ə mutuvìl'čitu i jə m'ètvəmi nə slɤ̀nci

we take it from the yarn-crutch and put it out in the sun

45 (a) də si isɤ duisɤ̀:ni štòtu tò ni mòži də isɤ̀:ni nə mutuvìl'čitu

to finish drying, because it can’t get dry on the yarn-crutch.

Bansko

274 (a) tòpime mò mòtame ja na mutuvìlka da se ìspne

put it to soak, and wind it up on the yarn-crutch so it's stretched tight,

275 (a) tòpime mutuvìlkata da se ne nasùgruva ga svàl'ime pàsmutu

then we soak the entire winding frame so it won't tangle when we take off a tuft.

52 (a) i pòsle go zèmem na motovìlčeto

and after that we put it on the yarn-crutch.

Kozičino 2

5 (b) kəd gù vɑ̀pcəme či gu nəwìəme nə mutuvìl’čitu̥

After we dye it, we wind it onto the yarn-crutch.

6 (b) tò mnògu pɛ̀ti tr’àbvə də sə nəwìvə nəwìvəne rəzvìvəne

You have to wind it many times. Winding, unwinding,

7 (b) dukət stàne pròstu də stàne hùbəwu pràwu slòžim gu nə stanɛ̀

until it gets smooth, till it gets nice and straight. We put it on the loom.

62 (a) ud r’ət’è̝n:tu nə mut’v’ìlkə

[You take it] from the spindle to the yarn-crutch.

64 (a) mut’v’ìlkə ìmə zə jə smutàiš nə mut’v’ìlkə

There’s a yarn-crutch, and you wind it onto the yarn-crutch.

68 (GK) əhə dobrè a zaštò na mutvìlka go slàgaxte

Aha. Good. But why did you put it on the yarn-crutch?

69 (a) zə gu smutàeš nə mut’v’ìlkata i zə gu nəkvàsiš səs udà

You’ll wind it up on the yarn-crutch, and then you’ll moisten it with water

70 (a) kətu gu sùč’iš s’è̝tn’e nəỳəš ne sʌ̀ gʌ̀rč’i

while you twist it, and then you wind it up so it doesn’t tangle

71 (a) pək ìnək fànət sə gʌ̀rč’uli to gʌ̀rč’uli də sə prepr’ɛ̀č’ət

because otherwise it starts to get tangled, and tangled like that, it jams

72 (a) nə plətɤ̀ n’è sta n’è e hùbəu mut’v’ìlkətə smutànu

the cloth, and it doesn’t – it won’t be nice. [Everything’s] wound [onto] the yarn-crutch,

73 (a) stud’è̝nə vudà nəkvàsenə əršìnkətə i i kɤ̀t isʌ̀hn’e

and a yarn-crutch measure is moistened with cold water. And when it dries

28 (a) i kato go izvìješ’ nәtòč’iž gu na motovìl’č’eta i go isper’èšᵊ

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

227 (a) azàm agà se napɔ̀lni vret'ènono pàk ìmame matavìlkɔ matavìlkɔ e zav'ème

Then when the spindle is full we’ve got the yarn-crutch. We call it yarn-crutch.

229 (a) nə na matavìlkata mat'ème

And we wind [it all] onto the yarn-crutch.

249 (GK) a hubu i pòsle na na kakvò ga matàeš

Good. And then, what do you wind it on?

251 (GK) matavìlkata kakvò ìma otdòlu ìma

A yarn-crutch. What does it have [there] down below?

252 (a) matavìlka ìma č'atàl'kɯ

The yarn-crutch is forked (= has forked-like protrusions).

And on top?

On top [there’s] a nail.

We bore a little hole [in it] ...

And it winds up.

262 (a) jà tèj stànuva mat'ème agà ga smɔ̀kneme da ga papàr'me

That’s how it happens. We wind it, and then take it off in order to steam it.

We take it off the yarn-crutch, steam it and then gather it up.
