Description
Photo from Dimen Village of Wu Mnci pulling up the lower level warp threads to form a counter shed. The counter shed forms when the lower level warp crosses the upper layer. Wu Mnci had the cross made earlier with a weaver's sword but for some reason pulled it out and lost the cross. Now she is redoing it one thread at a time. She tucks her hand in between the layers so they do not combine with each other again.
