(HBO) - From tree... to yarn... then working hard day after day, month after month with the patience and diligence of Mong women in Pa Co commune (Mai Chau), the linen sheets being into shape is an image of cultural beauty, a link to the past, a standard for evaluating a woman's quality.
Every year, around February and March of
the lunar calendar, when it starts to rain, the flax seeds are planted at a
high density so that the plant grows straight and thin, without many branches
and twigs, and gives good quality. Flax fiber is harvested after about 60 - 70
days from the date of sowing. The costumes ofMong people are uniquely shaped on linen with a clever combination of
three basic techniques: embroidery, beeswax painting and fabric piecing.
