GLZ demonstrating on spinning the warp thread in her village in Ghufti

The image captures GLZ from Ghufti village demonstrating the intricate process of spinning the warp thread, known locally as Thon, which consists of a double thread designed for vertical warping on the hand loom. GLZ carefully attaches the wool to the spinning wheel, spinning it backward to bind the fibres tightly together, ensuring the strength required for the warp thread. The process also includes periodically immersing the spun yarn in water to set the fibres. This skilled technique is essential in preparing the double-threaded warp, which forms the backbone of the traditional weaving process. The scene reflects the deep-rooted craftsmanship and cultural heritage of wool spinning in the region.
