Turgi farm hostess Veinika Västrik is an experienced weaving teacher and author of several handbooks for weavers. Estonia is rich in beautiful handicraft techniques. Weaving fabrics on a loom is a widely spread skill. Pick-up woven belts called kirivöö were very popular over several centuries and doing their renaissance right now.
