Mickmac Sun, 09 Dec 2007 14:41:35 GMT http://www.squidoo.com/thaihemp/ I recently visited Pha Nok Kok village, a traditional Hmong village, north of Chiang Mai, Thailand. I was with a group of textile enthusiasts from Chiang Mai, among other places, to witness a demonstration of traditional Hmong hemp fabric production, from the stripping of the fiber from the stalks, to the weaving of the finished product. Much has already been written about this wonderful product, by dedicated people who know a lot more about it than I ever will. So instead of writing too much about it, I would rather just show you some photos, and put some good links in my "links" module. If you are interested in purchasing any hemp products, please visit our "Lanna Charm" website, where we have a range of hemp fabric, both handpainte...

Mickmac Sun, 09 Dec 2007 14:45:12 GMT http://www.squidoo.com/weavingcottonthailand/ Anyone who has seen any of my lenses will know by now that I am just crazy about handwoven cotton fabrics, as long as they are created in the traditional manner. By this I mean the actual fibers being woven must be naturally produced, hand spun and dyed with non synthetic dyes, and the looms are hand made from local timber, and "people powered", not mechanically driven. Because I live in the north of Thailand, ( Chiang Rai ), I don't have to travel very far in any direction to find a village whose main income is from weaving silk or cotton.

Most of the handwoven cotton we use for our "Lanna Charm" handbags and shoulder bags comes from a &q...
