We present you a sheep wool tapestry made on manual horizontal weaving looms.

On the tapestry, the author presents rural life at the turn of the four seasons.

And so we see spring on the farm - apiary and bees collecting nectar, wild and domestic birds shouting and singing and a farmer sowing the land.

Summer - a lot of joy, because the hard work in the spring has brought crops - the land gave grain, trees gave fruit.

Autumn is the time of harvesting and drying mushrooms.

In winter, the sleigh glides through the snow, the snowman stands in front of the house, and the room is probably heated by a tiled stove (but that's another story).

This unique decoration will enrich the look and add character to our rooms. The fabric can traditionally be hung on the wall. You can also spread it out on a table or on a bench. It looks beautiful in both classic and modern interiors.

DOUBLE-NEW WEAVING

On the horizontal looms, a linen fabric called double warp or double warp is created. The workshop is hemmed with two warps in contrasting colors, and the weaving uses two wefts in the colors of the warp. With a strip called "mycobacterium" the weaver moves the threads of the lower warp upwards, and the upper - downwards, and binds them with a weft of the same color. A fabric is created in which the left side is the negative of the right. The double warp fabric can be presented from two sides. Double warp weaving is currently practiced in Poland in only one region. In the north-eastern part of the country there is the Janów commune, where the ladies cultivate this beautiful, but difficult tradition. Outside the country, this technique is still used in Italy, Spain, Mexico and Peru, and in the old days it was known in many regions of Europe, in Poland carpets, bedspreads made by both professional weavers and housewives, decorated the altar steps of many churches, from the holidays they covered beds, and made of hard-to-reach wool, they were part of the bride's dowry.
