3 (PSh) At Christmas, did carolers and such come by?

4 (a) [0:06] Yes, yes. The carolers came by, yes. Also [at] New Year’s.

5 (a) [0:11] A lot of them come. Both old people too went, from house [to] house,

6 (a) [0:15] and young people. Children – [ah,] they were boys. They came from the villages,

7 (a) [0:20] and they carried these staffs, they sang and such.

8 (a) [0:27] We treat them to a bun each. Mom had made [one for] each of them,

9 (a) [0:32] and she had hung one bun each onto the staff of each one of them.

10 (a) [0:36] And we treat them to whatever we’ve come up with,

29 (PSh) Well, uh. You, [when you were] girls, how did you used to dress earlier on?

30 (a) [2:06] They put on – there were [folk] tunics. We put on [these] folk tunics for festivals.

31 (a) [2:12] That’s what we put on. Otherwise, for every day they dressed

32 (a) [2:17] like we dress now.

33 (PSh) And how did these folk tunics look?

34 (a) [2:22] What?

35 (PSh) How did these folk tunics look? What are they like?

36 (a) [2:25] Well, it’s – woolen, the whole of it, wool woven at home,

37 (a) [2:30] and here it’s got – Ah, it’s with these colorful [decorations].

38 (a) [2:36] And here it’s got sequins and here there’s one tassel each

39 (a) [2:40] and in the back there’s two tassels each. [laughter] [sigh]

40 (PSh) [laughter]

41 (a) [2:43] [sigh]

42 (PSh) Do you know how to weave these things?

43 (a) [2:45] To weave? Me?

44 (PSh) Yes

45 (a) [2:46] Oh, how much I’ve woven for my daughters! Dowries –

46 (PSh) [cough]

47 (a) [2:50] We used to weave many dowries here for the children,

48 (a) [2:56] for the girls. We wove everything, you know? Fabric, everything. All was woven [by hand].

49 (a) [3:03] A shirt to wash – everything was woven, everything. Yes. But now – [Even] now

50 (a) [3:10] we go in the summer to the river to bleach them, we’d bleach [each of] the fabrics

51 (a) [3:15] nice and white. But now young people don’t know how to spin,

52 (a) [3:22] nor to knit. [laughter]. It’s rare [laughter]. that any [of them] know [laughter].

53 (PSh) What do you [use] to spin with? That is –

54 (a) [3:28] Everything. I spin cotton and – and wool. I spin everything.

55 (PSh) But using what? Using which [sorts of things]?

56 (a) [3:33] Well, like this. You put [it on] a distaff.

57 (PSh) A distaff.

58 (a) [3:38] On this wooden thing. You tie [it to] the spindle,

59 (a) [3:42] and you spin. You twirl [it] here and you roll it up here, and you spin.

60 (a) [3:46] Yes, that’s how it was. Everything. People spin now too, you know.

61 (a) [3:53] Those who have sheep still spin. They still spin. [Sometimes] they give it out

62 (a) [3:57] for spinning to – to a factory, but [usually]

63 (a) [4:02] they don’t like it as much so you spin it yourself anyway,

64 (a) [4:04] the way you want it to be. Yes.

65 (PSh) And do they have looms, to do the weaving after that?

66 (a) [4:09] What?

67 (PSh) Looms. Are there still old looms around here?

68 (a) [4:12] Yes. There are. See over there [what’s left] of mine. Some –

69 (a) [4:17] [some of the] frame beams remained, and the rest they cut up for firewood. [laughter]

70 (a) [4:21] [Of] looms, there are two [pieces], with the heddle here in front. You sit here

71 (a) [4:26] and you throw this way, throw that way, and the feet –

72 (a) [4:28] Your feet are here, and you move your feet.

73 (PSh) And what do you put your feet on?
