We learnt how the traditional woollen tapestry and blankets are woven from woollen fleece to all the way to be made into products.
This is a process called warping. Wrapping yarns which will be lengthwise on the loom. It have to be right colour, right order and right tension.
This is shuttle weaving loom. Man and machine collaboration. Shuttles are sent back and forward by power loom but he needs to stop the machine every few minutes to top up the yarns in a shuttle.
Display of original tapestries, some dating back 200 years ago.
The loom is powered by the water turbine. Factory is built by the local stream. Such a clean energy!
Some example of finished textile. Then Finally...
Turned into products to be used! I'm little sad that only tourist visit here. Seems like locals think they are ancient and out of fashion... Didn't witness any local shops selling traditional products like these. But I love them and I want to visit here again!
