very cool pic - I spin fiber, but i cant figure out what they're doing to it?? maybe you should do "interviews" :)
Interesting photo. Are they from the same family?
That's quite a look you're getting in the first shot. Fascinating how you capture the three different personalities in these two images.
They are taking loops of cotton thread and stretching them to be attached to a loom. Since the weavers come from one particular village, it is highly likely that they are related somehow.
and what will they be weaving?

This is for a tapestry.
