Explanation:
Iako mi se cini da je koleginica Branka mnogo blize ispravnom odgovoru, evo jos jednog nagadjanja:
Nisam uspjela nigdje naci izraz "pokitar", pa sam pokusala da nadjem od koje rijeci bi mogao biti izveden. Mozda od "kita" ili "kicanka"? Ako to ima ikakvog smisla, onda bi mogao biti fringe/ tassel maker. Navodim jedan od "sajtova" gdje se ovo zanimanje pominje. Ima ih jos nekoliko. Sretno.

Explanation:
Samo nagadjanje

Od lana i konoplje izrađeni su svi tekstilni predmeti potrebni za obitelj. To je bio isključivo ženski posao, ali su u Turopolju muškarci tkalci tkali gusto crveno deblje platno.

U Turopolju se nosila kapica i turopoljska poculica. Kapica pokriva gotovo cijelu kosu, ukrašena je perlicama i uskom čipkom. Turopoljska poculica, malena i okrugla, pokriva samo spletenu kosu omotanu oko fanjka - punteka. Obrubljena je uskom čipkom, starije imaju ukras našiven svilom, vunom ili koncem, a novije imaju ukras od perlica, fureša, umjetnih cvjetića i obrubljene su tilom. Posavska poculica je veća, pokriva cijelu kosu, obrubljena je širokom špicom, a bogati cvjetni ukras na njoj je našivan ili prebiran raznobojnom svilom, koncem ili vunom.
