What’s that thing?

The krajka is made on a rigid heddle. It’s a kind of simple loom, wooden board with holes and slits. This invention is very ancient and common in various cultures. It’s a prototype of a modern loom.
Such braids were used in ancient times, throughout the Middle Ages and until recently. Nowadays they are still used in folk costumes.
There were many variants and colors. For technological reasons people mainly wove stripe patterns on rigid heddle looms. The Slavic people especially liked striped belts and clothes. To this day it is visible in the folk costumes of Central and Eastern Europe. Local striped clothes are like famous Scotch tartan in terms of application.
