The weaver ties one end of the warp to a post and wraps the other around her own back, so the tension of every thread comes from the way she sits and leans. That is why handwoven cloth has a hand that a machine cannot copy, and why no two bags come out quite the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDeep blue with narrow stripes in pink, red, yellow, turquoise, and black, scattered with small raised knots and broken by bands of openwork.
