This Gunya is a more common version of Gunya_Kozovannya. Instead of weaving the dreads in the basis, a special combing technique is being used after the Gunya has been woven and washed in ice-cold water stream. Extensive combing gives this Gunya fur-like qualities. The same technique is also used for making traditional Ukrainian woolen blankets and tapestries.
