Wooden Sticks for Holding Warp Threads and Cloth Roll on Loom
Abstract
A close-up image of two wooden sticks used in traditional loom weaving, laid on a colorful patterned carpet. The longer stick is designed to hold the cloth roll during the weaving process, while the shorter stick is used to secure the warp threads in place. These sticks are integral components of the loom, ensuring proper tension and alignment of threads for the weaving of Shu cloth. The smooth finish of the wood highlights the artisanal craftsmanship and the sustainable use of local materials in Chitrali weaving practices.
