BBN spinning the weft thread in her village in Royee
Abstract
The video captures BBN from Royee village as she initiating the process of weft yarn spinning. Her focused expression and steady movements guide the wool onto the spindle, ensuring consistent tension for a uniform weft thread. The spinning wheel, anchored firmly to the ground, transforms the raw wool into delicate, usable yarn under her careful touch. This scene encapsulates the intricate skill, patience, and cultural heritage deeply embedded in the wool-spinning traditions of Royee.
