    How beautiful! I could only dream of having such skill, I am so glad that there are still people out there who create such pieces by hand.

    I recently started weaving and it's very therapeutic to the mind and body. I'm experimenting incorporating macrame techniques and needle work into my weaves. I guess I like string lol. Thanks for the awesome video.

    Fantastic video, I might have to rethink my dream job after seeing this!
    Sidenote, in case this gets read by the museum: The timestamps in the description can also be written out, like 1:08 , which makes the video jump to that point, instead of it being a link, which reloads the video :)

    This is incredible! Thank you for sharing. I'm setting up my loom for my first (albeit very small) tapestry now. This video gave me inspiration.

    This is amazing! I love learning new bits of history info like this. It never even occurred to me that the bobbins would hang that way! These weavers are true artists!

    That was extraordinary! So very much work to make one now, and yet, how much easier to make one now than in the Middle Ages: warping by hand, no artificial lighting, getting the materials for the tapestry, and probably infinitely more. Thank you for that lovely video!

    Just lovely. Great film making and a luscious subject. The camera seems to absorb the colors and the textures. Great job.

    Thank you for this great documentary. But why is nowhere mentioned from where this art was inspired? I recall being told in school that the French learned from the Iranian how to weave this kind of complex structures. Correct me if I'm wrong. I think it would be a worthwhile piece of information to include the origin especially if the historic aspect is highlighted so much.

    one wonders if in the past all the weavers were women as seen here or was it a mans profession that women took over as men went on to new things
