(Baonghean.vn) - VFor the Tho people in Lang Do hamlet, Tho Hop commune (Quy Hop), weaving hemp hammocks is considered a traditional profession with its own unique cultural identity and beauty.
 |
| "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. |
 |
| To have raw materials to make hammocks, people have to grow hemp trees to get the bark. |
 |
| The thorny stem is only as small as a finger, so it requires the hammock maker to spend hours meticulously peeling the bark and spinning it into fibers... |
 |
| To make the hemp fibers strong and durable, the sun-drying process also requires experience, so that the fibers "eat" the sun well. Next comes the steps: choosing the fibers, braiding the hammock straps, choosing the type of bolt... |
 |
| The unique feature of the Tho hammock is that during the weaving process, the weaver positions the head of the hammock... |
 |
| And here is the tail of the hammock. |
 |
| According to Ms. Truong Thi Nham, the head and tail of the hammock have a shaping property, contributing to ensuring 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. |
 |
| With soft and cool hemp fiber properties, creating a very comfortable feeling for the user. |
