Handwoven Leather Belts
Once spun and dyed, the yarns are woven on traditional backstop looms. These simple, portable looms are often made by the weavers themselves and are used by fixing one end to a tree or stationary post and looping the other end around their back. This arrangement allows the weaver to achieve the amount of tension required to create a strong and sturdy textile.
