Скачать или смотреть Laos, Traditonal Silk Weaving Handloom Set-up in Village Cottage Industry

Set up and ready to go, this silk hand loom is just waiting for the woman of the house to finish her morning family duties before she sets to work producing exquisite traditional Lao designs in silk. The woman and her daughters produce the silk fibre from silkworm cocoons. They then hand spin the silk thread, hand dye it in vibrant colours using natural dyes derived from plant material. Finally they use their traditional weaving skills and special Lao designs and colours. Silk handlooms have been used for centuries. They survived the numerous wars and migrations because families took the implements and utensils into caves when the people fled the war or invasion. Income derived from the sale of silk cloth and products allows women and families to stay in the village community.
