How our item material are made
While men farm, women weave the textile.
The loom for weaving is not fixed. It includes many separate simple parts. Looms are mainly made of bamboo sticks and wooden bars.
A weaver stretches the thread in a hand - picked loom. Simple bamboo dowels are manipulated through tension applied with the thrust of a weaver's legs. The dowels are brought closer together for the application of beads, which are strung by hand, directly onto the threads, then embedded in a woven surround.
When the women finish their work, they will disassemble the looms, and it will become separate parts again. Because of this mobility, the women can weave the textile in any place and create beautiful textile which is clever combination of colors and patterns.
