When I showed her photos of the weaver and his loom, she offered this description of the loom: • The loom appears to be “two harness”; the harnesses are controlled by his feet. • The warp, length-wise yarns, appear to be tensioned horizontally and upward at a 30-degree angle. The warp yarns are probably attached to a tree trunk or stationary post. • The lower two white triangles are attached to the treadles, which cannot be seen in this photo. He alternates stepping on the treadles to raise and lower the harnesses, creating an interlacement. • He could be supplementing the textile manually by adding weft yarns. The reed that keeps the warp yarns separate is the tan-colored piece in his hand. He is probably beating the weft into place. • The dark beam across his lap close to his body is a front beam, which he rolls to hold the completed weaving. The tension on the front beam is probably held in position by a strap around his back (not visible in the photo). He keeps an even tension on the warp by maintaining the same posture. • The upper upside-down-“U”-shaped device with two rollers allows the harnesses to move quickly when he presses down on the treadles, one after the other, to create the interlacement of the weave. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f17619b983c685c7b863b59/1609008328661-LHV2MRRMDQVXHBUWJ77A/manweave2.jpeg West
