The wool of the native Jezersko-Solčava sheep breed is of high quality and suitable for processing into various products. During the winter, the spinning wheel used to spin and the knitting needles used to dance on the farms. The skilful fingers of the ladies created different products; from socks and sweaters to blankets and small decorative items. On Šenk’s homestead we will show you the almost lost and forgotten tradition and with the help of the local masters, you will be able to become part of it yourself.
