Carpathian Lizhnyk - traditional woolen blanket made of pure sheep wool with different patterns and fluffy texture on one or both sides. Wool throws are woven with hands on a special wooden loom, usually, such looms pass from generation to generation, from mother to daughter and so on. Lizhnyks are very common in everyday life, used to soften beds or benches, and for extra warmth in the wintertime. They’re warm and attractive, but most importantly, their natural material, pure wool, is good for your health, massaging the skin and encouraging good blood flow — although it can be itchy at times. It is a natural woven carpet with a dense structure. Made from sheep wool 100%, felted, smooth. This is a great mat on the floor, beautifully fits in any interior, very pleasant to the touch. This carpet can perfectly serve as a blanket on the bed. To make the lizhnyk a craftsman uses wool from sheep that were raised in the high Carpathian mountain pastures, and natural dyes. Firstly, wool is washed and dried, combed by the special comb, and as a result a fluffy ball like a cloud is formed. By the way, blankets and pillows, filled with combed wool, promote healthy sleep. However, wool has the property of absorbing and returning 30% moisture into natural environment, without creating the feeling of dampness in the bed. HOW LIZHNYK IS MADE The combed wool are easily twisted into threads (rovnytsi), and lizhnyks are made out of them, mainly on the homemade looms. There are several traditional patterns by which you can know in which village this lizhnyk was made. Thus, lizhnyks in Yavoriv can be curved, parquet, rainbow or cream. The newly-woven lizhnyk is plunged into the special machine – valylo, the big wooden tub, narrowed down, along which water is channeled into a structure known as a “zholob”. Water flow smashes and sharply arises up by making a whirl where lizhnyks are churned for several hours. When you are standing near the valylo, it seems like you are near a big waterfall. While being in the valylo, lizhnyks become tough and fluffy. It is very good when the lizhnyk is churned in summer in warm water. Then it is dried on the poles and combed in order to tease the wool.
