She’d wash it, card it, spin it and dye the yarn. Thisjob is always done by women. By the age of 12, I could reach thepedals of the handloom. Ever since, I’ve woven rugs and now my sonshave also learned our craft. My favorite patterns are of mountainsand rows of diamonds because they remind me a lot of my father. Ifeel proud that my sons also weave.
