Beni Mguild (Nordafrika, Mittlerer Atlas) - Weben einer Zeltbahn am waagerechten Griffwebgerät

zweidimensionales bewegtes Bild

Aufbau eines waagerechten Griffwebgerätes durch den Zeltbesitzer, seine Frau und seine Mutter bei Ifrane: Scheren der Kette, Spannen der Kettfäden, Einbinden der Litzenschlaufen, Auswechseln der Pflöcke und Befestigen der Kettfäden, Aufhängen des Litzenstabes an einem Dreifuß, Weben einer etwa 75 cm breiten Zeltbahn aus heller Schafwolle.
In front of the tent, a man, his wife and his mother are busy erecting a horizontal weaving apparatus. First the warp is set up. The woollen warp yarns are drawn in a figure of eight around three pegs driven into the ground; the two outer pegs represent the later warp beam and the front or fabric roller; the third, smaller peg takes the place of the heald, and with its help the loops are tied up. The pegs are then replaced and the warp yarns fastened and tied up. With the aid of two pegs in the ground, warp beam and front roller are kept separate, and the warp is stretched horizontally. A tripod is placed between them, from which the heald is hung. After attaching the weft yarn to the shuttle, the young woman plaits in a cord to serve as width indicator, arranges the warp yarns and begins to weave a tent-width. Sheds are formed with the aid of the separator staff and the weaver's board, which is alternately laid flat and upright.
