Our heritage
From ancient times to the present
The loom was used by women over the centuries and was a vital part of home. It met basic family needs such as clothing, textiles for everyday use, sheets, tablecloths, curtains as well as sacks for the transportation of products. They used silk, wool and cotton yarns.
The wool was processed by the women themselves, a painstaking and tedious process followed by the dying, whereby plants such as walnut, indigo, radish were used to achieve the desired coloration. Today, the manual loom has almost disappeared after being replaced by the mechanical loom and the weaving process has been mechanized. We can only find it in a few houses and museums of folk art.

You were caught in my reel, weaving a divine tissue.
So eager to appear, as if you were, in a chest
locked for years.
On Kirki’s loom you appeared
and the warp at your side stands alone.
