Works across four looms in the same lane.

This weaver asked to be credited for the work without being named, and the record respects that. They dress warps for four looms in one Gadwal lane — some ten thousand ends a week counted through the reed — and dye the silk for the borders in a shared pit behind the houses. The pieces below carry their warping.
