Description
Photo from Dimen Village of Wu Mnci teaching Anastasya Uskov how to weave a pattern on a backstrap loom. Wu Mnci has helped Anastasya pick four individual ends, open the tabby counter-shed and beat the fell with the weaver's sword inserted in the tabby counter shed. Now she helps Anastasya stand the sword up in the tabby counter-shed. Anastasya is pulling black weft through the counter-shed.
