The intricate patterns, with their characteristic zigzag variations, are born from the weavers' interpretations and imaginations of their natural surroundings. These "ikat" patterns are not created on the loom; instead, they are meticulously planned during the yarn dyeing process. Threads are strategically tied to resist the dye, ensuring the desired white patterns emerge naturally during weaving. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53624707148_0849b7ac05_o.jpg Each family possesses its own unique dyeing and weaving methods, passed down through generations from mother to daughter. These traditions are then reinterpreted and transformed by the daughters, inspired by the landscapes they experience. Fathers and brothers work diligently in the fields, cultivating and harvesting plants for dyeing, and constructing the frames and details of the looms from bamboo or wood. These creations are born from the combined strength of heaven, earth, parents, and family. | Material | 100% Natural Cotton Hand-Spun Yarn, Plant-Dyed, Handwoven | Dyeing Method | Pure Natural Indigo Plant Dye | Size | Free Size Waist (Elastic Waistband Design) Flat Measurement 32cm-57cm / Skirt Length 65cm ( ±2cm Handmade Error) | Origin / Manufacturing Method | Yangga Design * Lao Village Handmade Production https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51129288417_3cc0104911_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49710107503_97ed6ff2e6_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49710987982_cedcdb4e16_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49710992397_981ccde089_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49710965587_b63ceae9fc_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49710642091_a804b690e3_o.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49710642066_4f2b435af3_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53624834784_99aac00c40_o.jpg
