Không biết tự bao giờ người Thổ có nghề đan võng gai, chỉ biết từ lúc lên 6, lên 7 tôi đã biết ngồi se sợi. Để làm được một chiếc võng, đòi hỏi người đan phải kiên trì, tỉ mĩ và khéo léo... Bà Trương Thị Hài cho biết
"I don't know when the Tho people started weaving hemp hammocks. I only know that since I was 6 or 7 years old, I knew how to spin the thread. To make a hammock, the weaver must be patient, meticulous and skillful..." said Ms. Truong Thi Hai in Lang Do.

According to Ms. Truong Thi Nham, the head and tail of the hammock have a shaping effect, helping to ensure that the hammock does not deviate after use, so this step requires the strength of men, the remaining steps are done by women. And to complete a hammock, it takes 4 months. The selling price of each hammock also ranges from 700 - 1,000,000 VND depending on the size of the hammock.
