Tai Lue weaving communities of Pua

Overview

Sali Sasaki reports Tai Lue weaving in Pua as supplementary income alongside farming. Skirts can combine weft ikat and supplementary-weft techniques.

The account links simpler designs and synthetic fibres to buyers’ demands for cheaper, faster production. It also records weavers mixing styles, treating textiles as changing work rather than fixed ethnic templates. These observations concern selected Pua weavers, not all Tai Lue communities.
