Chapter 2: Hemp Weaving, Hmong Tradition

In order to have a roll of handmade hemp, how much effort have the artisan made for hand weaving process?

To weave hemp, 220 yarns will be hung up to be warped. Depending on the width that we seek (often from 28-40cm is best), we must adjust the tightness of the 220 yarns.

With handwoven fabric, the smaller the width is, the tighter and more beautiful the quality of weaving is. This requires great dexterity and skill on the part of the artisan, who must control the loom.

A width similar to the wingspan of the artisan is best, in order to allow the best control.
