傣锦机
Dai Brocade Loom

傣锦机现用于生产云南傣锦。它以帘式小花本来控制提花,即用一根耳子线(花本上代表纬线的横线绳)控制一纬的提花规律,织完一梭后,取耳子线从花本的上部转移到花本的下部,一般花本的耳子线可达100多根。

The Dai brocade loom, native to Yunan province, is equipped with a small pattern harnesses with individual looped threads controlling each weft pick. After each weft is beaten in, the active loop is moved to the bottom of the pattern harness. Each loom has as many as 100 looped threads.
