Intro
Spinning and weaving used to be part of everyday life in the mountain regions of the Upper Valais.
Spinning and weaving used to be part of everyday life in the mountain regions of the Upper Valais. Almost every house had a loom, a bank card and a spinning wheel and spinning was done by hand. Textiles for everyday use were made from local materials (wool and linen). In the meantime (as almost everywhere!) handmade textiles have been replaced by industrially produced ones and so old traditions have been lost...
