The material used is hemp. That stripped by the men is usually too fine [course crossed out] for this work so a coarser thread is stripped on a small machine worked bywomen. After the [thread crossed out] fibre is dried it is wound onto a reel and made a continuous thread. The warp thread is measured in sticks to the desired length and it then placed on a bamboo frame. The operator with the final pattern in mind then overties with waxedhemp such portions of the warp as she desires to remain white. So well does she wrap or overtie the threads that when the thread is placed in the liquid dyes no portion of the coloring matter penetrates to the part thus covered. After dyeing the thread is again placed on theframe and the overtyeing removed. It is then placed on the hand loom and the wool threads are woven in. The dyes are secured from roots, bark and herbs. The final glaze is added by rubbing the damp cloth with a shell, under pressure. For further details see notes on ìBagoboweaving and Dyeing.î | |
