 |
| Atlas is a kind of silk fabric | |
| with intricate andunique | |
| patterns that Uygur and Uzbek | |
| women like to use for their | |
| dresses. It is called Hotan silk | |
| by the hinterland people. The | |
| older women Iike to wear dresses | |
| made of Atlas with black-white | |
| designs and patterns, while young | |
| women and girls like the multi- | |
| colored variety. The older | |
| women in Atlas with black- white patterns Iook dignified and elegant, while | |
| the young women and girls in colorful Atlas 1ook resplendent and | |
| brimming with youthful vigour The weaving of Atlas is different from that of | |
| the traditional weaving used in the hinterland. First,the craftsmen have the | |
| silk yarn(warp) dyed according to the planned pattern they intend to | |
| weave, and then mount it on the 100m according to the patterns and designs | |
| and then,weave from memory. In the weaving of Atla the weft yarn is | |
| completely hidden beneath the warp. This process of weaving is rarely found | |
| the hinterland of China.The manufacture of Atalas is in Xinjiang Hotan,I | |
