Lao weavers are known for their mastery of weaving, especially the brocade which is called supplementary or discontinuous supplementary weft. The white strings are tied ahead of time and they control the pattern; in the ikat technique, the pattern is controlled by the skillful tyeing and dyeing of the yarns -- the pattern emerges as the weaver weaves. We work with Lao and Thai weavers through our Canadian-based social enterprise, TAMMACHAT Natural Textiles. More stories about weavers still in Laos and Thailand on our website (www.tammachat) and blog (www.tammachatnaturaltextiles.blogspot.com). It's truly an honour to work with these weavers. And thank you so much for sharing the story of a true and inspiring master who is passing her skills and love to her daughter.Ellen Aggerhttp://www.tammachat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4540761711646097949.post-14486665494432595042012-05-01T10:13:17.465-05:002012-05-01T10:13:17.465-05:00They are amazing!
