BBN pre-carding the wool at her home in Royee village

The image depicts BBN from Royee village engaged in the traditional wool preparation technique known as puchuti. She is seen sprinkling soft, sandy soil onto the wool before carding, outside her house. This is an essential step in the pre-carding process, ensuring the wool dries properly. The soil, obtained from soft sandy rock, is mixed with the wool to absorb moisture and grease left from shearing the sheep. This method is crucial to ensuring the wool is clean and ready for further processing.
