Lotus Root weaving.. who knew. It is a pretty intense process and take a long time to get enough to create on thread. in order to make the warp stronger on the loom the Lotus thread is soaked in both congee (rice water) and cooking oil.
The result is amazing.. almost linen like.. but a little different. Soft, thin and slightly rough.. It is insanely expensive, but worth every penny once you see the the process.
