Description
Photo from Dimen Village of Wu Mnci tying the end of the backstrap loom she just took off a warping bench to a wooden post on her veranda. She pulls on one end of the thread while using her other hand to hold the cloth beam and bamboo weaver's sword to keep it from falling out. She hands off the other end to a nearby person while she sets up the backstrap loom.
