About this photo:

This is not the weaving we bought from the itinerant salesman at Dochu La. (See this photo.) Instead, she is showing one of the weavings on sale at An Leki's Guesthouse in the Bumthang Valley. This panel shows the size of the loom used in the process. The cloth we bought consisted of three of these panels sewn together, the proper size for a Bhutanese woman's dress.
