GLZ Mixing Wool with Soil for Pre-Carding in Ghufti Village
Abstract
The image shows a close-up of GLZ's hands as she works the wool into the soil during the final stage of the pre-carding process in Ghufti village. Her hands are vigorously mixing the wool in a large metal bowl, creating a fine cloud of dust as the soil helps to remove grease and moisture from the wool fibers.
