Washcloths made of bast wool "Bast shingle"

Bast wool — soaked bast fibers of linden and some other trees (alder, aspen).
Trees on the mochalo are cut down in the spring, during the beginning of the sap flow. The bark is peeled off and immersed in dammed places of rivers and streams for 1,5—3 months, depending on the water temperature. After soaking, the bast is well separated from the outer bark. It is straightened, torn into ribbons and dried.
Bast wool becomes soft, silky when steamed, helps to perfectly clean the skin, this is due to the fact that the entire surface of the bast is covered with the smallest villi.
When steaming a bast sponge, bast fibers emit phytoncides into the air - the best means for the prevention of colds.
For many, a bast washcloth is a memory from childhood.
