Winding the Second Warp

Picture
To put things into perspective here is an image from Beverly Gordon's Textiles The Whole Story, of weavers in a Yao village in China winding their's! I am trying to find some more info on this because the mind boggles. The first questions of course is what kind of loom is that very large warp going on? Hummm.
It also reminds me of Ann Wilson's Wind up-Walking the Warp performance work, her research looked into warping practices across cultures, where walking and moving was a big piece of the process. She used these methods to invoke a state of mindfulness and focus in the performance piece. Here is a link to the PDF of all her research, its very interesting and shows many warping methods, get some inspiration to build your own!
