Lao women know how to weave from a very early age. To complete a dress or shirt requires a lot of time, effort and a woman's ingenuity. For background parts that need dark colors, Laotians use cotton fibers to weave them into white cloth and then dye them with a mixture of indigo leaves, lime, and ash water within a week.
