With the migration of our ancestors, they not only brought production materials, but also various handicrafts. Wool weaving is a skill that is necessary for life and survival and has a long history. [Distribution Area] The main distribution areas in Muli are: Shuiluo, Donglang, Maili, Tangyang, Dongzi, Bowo, Maidilong, Kala, Ninglang, Yiji and nine state-owned ranches.

Twisting into thread: Use a line sinker or a wooden spinning wheel to twist the lumped raw wool into thread for use. 5. Dotted line weaving: The twisted wool thread is dotted into a certain edge width and length of the weaving longitudinal line, and the thread comb is used to dot the mesh, and then the horizontal line is applied to weave into wool cloth of different specifications for use. The edge width of general clothing is 3050 cm, and the material for leggings and belts is 1520 cm, and the length is set according to needs. 6 Cutting: Cut the required fabrics according to the needs of the products and set them aside for use. 7 Sewing and shaping: Sewing the cut fabrics into the predetermined products by hand or sewing machine.
