Abstract

The article provides a description of textile processing and weaving techniques in the areas around Lepoglava. The three major informants, Stjepan Godinić, Stjepan Šumečki and Antun Jernejić, all come from families in which weaving was a tradition, passed down from generation to generation through the male line. The textile making process is described phase by phase, and local terms for particular works and the names of implements are given. The author mentioned how much the weaving specialists used to earn before and after the Second World War. This interesting village craft is rapidly disappearing: of the three informants, the latest to retire was Jernejić, six years ago.
