Warping is another important step in the manufacture of clothes. Warping in local term is called si swngnai and the villagers followed the simple stick warping method. For the process of warping generally an open space is selected like the courtyard or open field. The whole process includes the weaving moving to and fro from one stick to another repeatedly with filled up bobbins. The length and breadth of the warp depends on the type and number of fabrics to be made. The warp is set on the reed (rasw) and heddle (nw) then it is set on the loom with warp beam and cloth beam.
