Weaving Hemp
Hmong Woman Nam Bung weaving hemp in Sapa Vietnam. Connecting hemp fiber is a long process. A hemp strip is split 10cm from one end and another strip is inserted into the split. The two ends are twisted together tightly so that the knot is not visible. Hmong women often have hemp fiber wound around their waits and hands, and use any spare time to connect strips.
