Making of Sheep Blankets

Mama, Can you provide a brief about the uses of blankets woven here?

The process of Wool extraction and processing has been passed down from generations in our culture. The wool is extracted once every 6 months, Then the wool is washed and spindled to take threads from the yarns, which will be used to weave our traditional blankets. These blankets have helped us in Monsoons, winters and harsh seasons. Farmers used to cover their grains with this woolen fabric when outdoors drying, and other purposes also involved. Offerings of blankets to God, is a form of showing our gratitude for the symbiosis between our sheep and us, eventually leading us through the game of survival with evolving together.
