Sažetak
The article focuses on various procedures and skills used by women in Dalmatia in the late 19th and early 20th century to make textile items for their household members or those for the household and economic needs. The complete process, which includes the procedures of obtaining textile threads, their interconnection with the aim of creating a fabric and the final decoration of individual items, has been presented. The procedures of wool processing, its weaving and decoration and especially the skills of embroidery and lace making have been described and illustrated. The production of textile items made of broom, hemp and homemade silk has also been mentioned.
This brief overview of textile handicrafts in Dalmatia tries to emphasize everything that was typical and at the same time mention what is less represented, but in a way stands out. The intention is to summarize the professionally processed data into a relatively simple textual form which with even more photographs could be a kind of picture book for adults. Therefore, the individual problems are not analysed and the aim of notes and literature is to refer to the possibilities of deepening the topic. The article was created as the first part of the planned edition on folk art in Dalmatia in which I would combine this topic on the basis of materials from the Split Ethnographic Museum and ethnological literature and present it in a popular way with rich pictorial materials.
In conclusion, it is emphasized that the knowledge of the basic methods of processing raw materials and various techniques of production and processing of textile materials is the basis for the systematic observation of the phenomenon of Croatian folk costumes from the rural past and for their current reinterpretations.
