GLZ and HJG guiding the Warp Threads in Ghufti village
Abstract
The image captures GLZ and HJG from Ghufti village working collaboratively to manage the warp threads in the final stage of wapring. GLZ is seen steadying a stone while HJG gathers the carefully aligned warp threads that have been removed from the spike. The image highlights the precision and effort involved in handling the warp yarns, ensuring they remain untangled and ready for the next stage of the weaving process.
