In the past, Tày families often grew their own cotton, spun yarn, and had looms to make products for their daughter's dowry to her husband's family, exchange, and sell to increase income and meet food needs. Many processes are needed to make a textile product, including as rolling, popping, wrapping, spinning, sizing, and spreading yarn. A loom, spinning wheel, bobbin, and cloth are some of the tools used in brocade weaving. card, card, pan. The Tày people have two types of weaving, plain weaving and patterned weaving (brocade weaving).
To create a pattern, one must make a "card" to arrange the warp threads in a predetermined sequence: spread the threads on the loom, thread the cover, install the threads on the goblet - a jute shell material standing perpendicular to the plane of the fabric spread. Depending on the width of the pattern to be woven, the number of hemmed threads corresponds to the number of warp threads of that part. Each warp thread is installed with 1 heath thread and the middle clamp is made of a small bamboo stick (slẻ) installed across the wooden board. The system of "khau" and "slẻ" is the "recessed" design of each pattern motif designed by the weaver on the loom. When weaving a pattern, the worker steps on one side of the shoe to remind the warp threads, corresponding to each time the shuttle (mặc thẩu) pulls the weft thread, and 1 time the colored thread is inserted into the pattern motifs prescribed by the hem.
In the layout of a brocade, there are usually two basic types of patterns: background flowers (frame borders, background lines alternating between pattern boxes and often using dark colors) and embossed flowers (pear flowers, star anise, eight-petal flowers, areca fruit flowers, and nhội flowers).
Final products include a blanket cover (nả phà), canopy (phứn mản), sling cover (nả đa), and bag (thông lài). Typical patterns include cane leaf patterns used for curtains and baby diapers; Lake patterns are used when making scarves; Types of patterns used when making sling faces, blanket faces, etc. |
