Burel is a Portuguese handmade fabric with the origin in the mountains, made entirely of Wool

After being carded, the wool becomes a wick. The wick is twisted in the spinning and turns into wire. This passes through the warp originating the web. The loom turns the web into a xerga. The xerga passes through the batano and other deals and finally becomes burel.
