Woman And A Spinning Wheel

Shot in the town of Luang Nam Tha, Laos.

A woman was working while she was crouching. Beside her, a spinning wheel was turning around. She was spinning a thread for weaving. In the background, there was a weaving machine. All weavers I saw around here were women. The job seemed to be for women.

I wondered whether what they made were competitive in price against the engineering products. In the near future, the job as a weaver would disappear.
