Lizhnyk – is a Ukrainian blanket made of 100% natural sheep wool.
Lizhnyk is the unique blanket, invented by hutsul people that live in regions of Carpathian Mountains.
Contemporary masters of the blankets inherited knowledge and skills of this craft from their ancestors. Ruslana, woman from our video, is a contemporary master that learnt from her mother and grandmother. She showed us the key processes of blankets production.
The hutsul masters also invented patterns. First blankets were monochromatic. Further, people added colorful elements, such as strips or geometric figures. The patters you see in our video is called “Christmas star,” represented in most popular combination of colors, red, dark red and green on neutral basis.
Wool blanket production for simple Ukrainian folk is craft, art and business as well.
