shearing wool from sheep

At the beginning of spring, when nature dons its green mantle, and covers the mountains, plains and meadows with all kinds of colors as if they were a painting drawn by the fingers of a creative artist, the “shearing” season (Telsi in Amazigh) begins; it is that authentic custom of the Amazigh traditions par excellence, where the wool of the sheep is sheared by specialists in this field, as the precision of the scissors excels between their fingers and the ram or lamb rests… in their arms, and everyone in the stable is enchanted by their melody; they are people called “Ijlamn” where the sound of their shears is accompanied by the sound of praise and glorification of God Almighty, and the singing of songs of joy and prosperity that are received in their own distinctive melody, so the ululations quickly rise and joy blows in every direction. The wool of each ram after it is sheared is called “Elis” where each one is collected and tied separately.

Prepare the dye: Boil the plant parts (roots, leaves, flowers, etc.) in water to extract the color.
Dye: Soak the sheep wool in the dye bath for several hours, depending on the intensity of the color we want
Set the dye: Use alum-like material supplied to help set the dye on the sheep wool and ensure the color lasts longer.
