Every Tuesday in 2026, the Sóstó Museum Village in Nyíregyháza opens the Beszterec homestead for hands-on weaving. Finish a small “masterpiece” and take it home. Address: 4431 Nyíregyháza, Skanzen Street (Skanzen utca) 8.
What to Expect
Weaving once defined women’s work in rural life. Even after factory-made textiles spread, families wove rag blankets from worn-out clothes, turning waste into warmth. Those colorful strips covered the stove bench or the wooden settle, and in the stable they doubled as blankets or sheets. Here, learners dive into the basics by creating a small rag rug—perfect for beginners, tactile, and easy to carry home at the end.
