Weaver Huang Ji Xiang, who is a member of the Qi subgroup of the Li people, making the cloth that is called "Li brocade" locally. Weaving proceeds via two separate sheds. After adding a row of ground weft the weaver switches attention to the upper shed where the pattern is formed. She first selects the region of interest with the light colored wooden pick at the bottom of the photo, then uses a second pick to select the warps for the supplementary weft.
