How they made mattresses with wool
E lâra se spelåja, pa se vo moręja ćåro uskå. Puraja se vo pre vrure gråne ali pre vrure štråce ân sore, neka se jå ćåro uska. Za štramåc-a fost trebe čuda. S-a fost de o pâršona dila osâmnęjst kil do dvajset de lâra. E s-a fost za pâršonu i pol, onda do dvajset i pet kile de lâra. Ši ženskele ča kåsa tot oskubija, ku mârle, ke n-a fost ku če, ši pokle fačęja štramåcu kåsa. Kumparęja roba. Fost-a za vinde na metri, roba za baš napošno za štramåcu. Ânča štivut-a pokojna Marčela lukrå štramåce.
TranslationWool was washed and then it needed to dry well. It was placed on tree branches or over cloths out in the sun so it dries through. You needed a lot [of wool] for a mattress. If it was for one person, [you needed] between eighteen and twenty kilograms of wool. If it was for one and a half person, then [you needed] up to twenty-five kilograms of wool. Women would comb through all [that wool], by hand, because there was no other way, at their home, and then they would make a mattress at home. They would buy the canvas. You could buy it by the meter, special mattress canvas. Here, the late Marčela knew how to make mattresses.
