filcs


Explanation:
"Filcs ir viens no senākajiem tekstiliju veidiem. Mūsu senči vēla vilnu, vēl pirms iemācījās aust." Vilnas velšanas tehnika esot radusies Āzijā un pamazām izplatījusies visā pasaulē. Mūsdienās filca izstrādājumi ieguvuši tādu kā otru elpu, jo aizvien vairāk cilvēki ilgojas pēc kaut kā dabiska un veselīga gan mājās, gan arī apģērbā.

Example sentence(s):
  • Lielākajai daļai ar vārdu "filcs" saistās tikai divas lietas: velteņi un cepures.
