Backstrap-Weaving in Myanmar. To weave a typical table runner, such as this one, a weaver has to commit to three hours a day for seven to ten days. The technique is called one-faced supplementary weft patterning, an extension of brocade as explained in my blog here. One-faced means that the pattern is created only on the front side of the cloth, the supplementary pattern weft floating across threads to create these intricate patterns. || ClothRoads Karen People, Surfboard Bag, Myanmar Women, Backstrap Loom, Hand Woven Textiles, Women Artisans, Burma, Intricate, Hand Weaving

Uzbekistan’s Fergana Valley is rightly famous for its ikat fabrics – which require infinite skill and patience of its practitioners. Because of its strong links to the past, and the independent, artistic nature of the process, ikat was suppressed in the Soviet era. Current masters (usto in Uzbek) learned from their fathers and grandfathers, who tied and died their complex warp patterns in secret. Fazlitdin Dadajonov was among the young apprentices who honed their craft in basement workshops. Ikat Pattern, Textile Patterns, Print Patterns, Textile Texture, Ikat Scarf, Ikat Print, Ikat Fabric

Malagasy silk weaving is one of the country’s most honored craft traditions although it decreased dramatically for some time. It’s considered a female activity, one that unites family and community members. For generations, mothers have passed down the craft of making silk shawls, called lambas, to their daughters. This weaving varies by region but are distinguished by pattern, material, color, and use. | Clothroads Weaving Process, Cultural Identity, Tapestry Weaving, Girl Scouts, Madagascar
