Description
-
The use of fluffy wool of Silesian sheeps started in the second half of the 19th century. This wool brought lush and rich colors to the decoration of clothing. Purple, lilac, bright pink, sky-blue and dark blue colors greatly expanded the palette of weavers and change the attitude to the colourful rhythm of woven patterns.
