One of the most popular Kachin hand woven material woven on a back strap loom is very popular and well liked by all that is why our television crew went to Myitkyina to record the weaving of this material.

The first step before the weaving states is to collect the necessary threads for the material you are going to weave and dye the required colors. When coloring the thread, only natural color made of tree roots and bergs are being used. The threads are put in a large frying pan and boiled with the required natural colors and then rinsed, hung and dried.

The threads are rolled on to the loom singularly for weaving. When you are ready to weave, as ordered by your customers? Making designs is very tedious and you have to put in a lot of time and chose the right color to meet the linking of the customer patiently. Every moment is being done by loom but slowly and patiently thread it by hands. Thus making this Gyat-khoke material very durable, colorful and very neat. Not only the Kachin nationals in Myanmar, but all the people in the country really adored this material woven on a backstrap loom with designs of your choice.
