In 2026, hands-on weaving workshops run every Tuesday at the Sóstó Museum Village (Sóstói Múzeumfalu), Beszterec Yard (Besztereci porta), 4431 Nyíregyháza, 8 Skanzen Street (Skanzen utca 8). Everyone takes home their finished “masterpiece,” a small rag rug made on site.
Hands-on folk craft
Weaving was long considered traditional women’s work in rural life. Even after factory-made textiles became widespread, people wove rag blankets from worn-out clothes. Those colorful strips covered the oven bench or the long wooden seat, and in the stable they doubled as blankets or sheets. Here, participants learn the basics of weaving by creating a compact rag rug—practical, sustainable, and rooted in local heritage.
