This is the residence of the H’Mong ethnic group famous for hemp weaving, indigo dyed and painted beeswax. Hemp fields have been harvested for just over two months. H’Mong people cut them and dried them for processing into fibers. When separating the hemp shells, the woman’s hand must be very clever for hemp with equal thickness and not broken halfway. These bundles of fiber have only remaining fiber after being grinned and then rolled into large fibers. After several times boiling with ash water and once boiled with beeswax, the linen was white and softer.
H’Mong people usually weave with a wooden frame. The cloth was washed several times for the white after woven. Then the cloth is spread over a round log, and they use a slab of beeswax to slide it until the fabric is flat. Making good linen is the pride of every H’Mong woman, so they are always careful in every step. Therefore, they have formed very strict conventions such as abstinence from men approaching when women strap the yarn into the frame because the yarn is broken and misplaced. The fabric is rough, it needs to be washed several times, soaked ash and dried so as to bring the garment. A good fabric is smooth, white, and small yarns… You always feel soft and cool when wearing.
