Abstract

The English annotation and transalation features KHT discussing the significance of spinning in the production of Shu, emphasizing its role as the most delicate stage in the process. She explains the precision required to create the two essential thread types: wore or weft, a single thread woven horizontally by the weaver, and thon or warp, a double thread wrapped vertically on the hand loom by the spinner. This careful preparation ensures the strength and quality of the final woven fabric, a traditional craft skillfully preserved and passed down through generations.
