Introduction to weaving machete cloth: The cloth of the Jinuo people is woven on a waist machine and is called "machete cloth". The cape-style pointed hat worn by women is the most distinctive representative of "machete cloth". When weaving, women sit on the ground, one end of the warp thread is tied to their waist, the other end is tied to the two wooden sticks opposite, and the weft thread is wound around the bamboo shuttle. During operation, the shuttle is held back and forth with both hands, and each time it passes, a machete-style wooden board is used to push the weft tightly. Repeatedly, a beautiful piece of "machete cloth" is woven.
