Traditions of Muhu island |
|
Maybe the most well known tradition on Muhu is the weaving. Beautiful traditional costumes are woven and embroided up to this very day and still worn on special occasions. Winter with its short days and long nights is the traditional time of the year for reparing ones tools, creating handicrafts, weaving and embroidery. Of particular interest are the Muhu blankets woven from wool and then embroided with flowers. Bespoke blankets can be ordered but count on a long waiting time of up to a year.
