Atlas Silk
|
 |
| Atlas is a kind of silk fabric |
| with intricate andunique |
| patterns that Uygur and Uzbek |
| women like to use for their |
| dresses. It is called Hotan silk |
| by the hinterland people. The |
| older women Iike to wear dresses |
| made of Atlas with black-white |
| designs and patterns, while young |
| women and girls like the multi- |
| colored variety. The older |
| women in Atlas with black- white patterns Iook
dignified and elegant, while |
| the young women and girls in colorful Atlas 1ook
resplendent and |
| brimming with youthful vigour The weaving of Atlas
is different from that of |
| the traditional weaving used in the hinterland.
First,the craftsmen have the |
| silk yarn(warp) dyed according to the planned
pattern they intend to |
| weave, and then mount it on the 100m according
to the patterns and designs |
| and then,weave from memory. In the weaving of
Atla the weft yarn is |
| completely hidden beneath the warp. This process
of weaving is rarely found |
| the hinterland of China.The manufacture of Atalas
is in Xinjiang Hotan,I |
| have been to the silk factory and only ther people
in that area can people |

product but it is not so |
| expensive to get . if you want to have it. Please
