Description
Photo from Dimen Village of Wu Mnci is starting to warp a second revolution of a backstrap loom. For the second revolution, she guides the black yarn under a weaver's sword and an arm of the tweezers. Then she takes it over the metal cylinder that will serve as a shed rod and around it, exiting on top of it again. It then goes along the length of the bench and winds around it all the way to the front. (The first revolution was wound over the sword and under and around the shed rod.)
