Abstract

KRM carefully spreads the brown Shu fabric over a network of branches, ensuring an even layout for optimal drying under the sun. His movements, barefoot on the uneven stone and grass terrain, reflect a deep familiarity with the artisanal process. The earthy tones of the fabric harmonize with the natural surroundings, underscoring the sustainable and organic nature of traditional wool production.
