Spinning Occupation in Kurdistan - Part 3

Darpetata

It is a wooden piece of equipment being lied down under Gurda. The Petata's belt-like string is attached to it. This wooden piece is attached to the Gurda on both ends and it is used to pull the Gurda straight downwards when the Jola (spinner) is pushing the Petata (pedals) so that the machine would not tremble. Each Gurda has a particular Darpetata, and totally, there are four of them.

Dargurd

It is a well-polished and strong piece of wood for the Gurda thread to be tied to it. Each Gurda has two Dargurds that are about 15 to 20 cm wide. There is thread stuffed into this tool and the ends of the threads are tied to both of the Dargurds. The length of Dargurd must be larger than the width of Kiraka.

Bargirtnawa Log

It is a log as wide as "Kir" that a Kander is wrapped around it. The Kander's ends are tied to the log. There is also a rope tied to both sides of the log. The rope is longer than the log.

This log is used: when the woven piece of fabric is about to be finished and the last parts of the threads are getting closer to the Gurda, since the end of the threads are tied together and they are not attached to Hechka, thus it is not easy to pass it through the Gurda. A little more than 52 cm of the threads will be stuck behind the Gurda and it is not easy to pull it out.

 Here, the Bargirtnawa log is used to pull out the thread from the rope and Hechk. The threads will be divided into ten parts and each part will be passed through a ring in the Kander Bargirtnawa log so that at the end the thread will remain behind the Gurda.

In this case, the rope of Bargirtnawa log and the rope of Hechk will be tied together.

Didanay Sha

It is a piece of spinning equipment made of very strong straws to smack the weft with it.
