spinning and weaving in Russia

[LeBlanc, Ronald]

Dear SEELANGS list members,

I'm writing on behalf of an undergraduate student at UNH who is interested in learning more about spinning and weaving in Russian culture.

Does anybody know of some good sources for her to consult in her efforts to find out more about the history of these practices in Russia?

She's particularly interested in whether spinning and weaving get treated in any works of Russian fiction (and/or folk tales).

Thanks in advance,

Ron
