The art of weaving is a method of fabric production; like braiding; knitting; or plaiting; where two or more sets of threads or yarns are intertwined in certain set patterns and angles to form an article of clothing.

In weaving; the lateral threads are known as the weft - Old English for 'that which is woven' - while the longitudinal yarns are known as the warp. The interlacing of the warp and weft is known as the weave; and how they interlace determines what attributes and features the cloth will take.

Luang Prabang was formerly the capital of a kingdom of the same name. Until the communist takeover in 1975; it was the royal capital and seat of government of the Kingdom of Laos. The city is nowadays a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pictures From Asia David Henley
