Weaver village
Each kira names the village and the weaving group.
Cloth record
Village, dye plant and loom hours.
Weaving women in Thimphu and Bumthang make kira on backstrap looms, with dyes from local plants. We record each kira's village, dye source and loom hours, so a buyer knows the cloth was woven by hand.
Natural dye
The dye plant and its harvest season are written before dyeing.
Loom hours
Loom hours are counted and written on the cloth line.
