Mum was siting at her awana. Next to it were dyed alpaca threads. Soon the threads would be changed into cloth for warm clothing.
Yana asked. "Mum, can I help? I want to learn how to weave."
"You'll learn when you are older," said Mum. "Now, go and play."
Yana felt very grumpy. She stamped out of the house.
An awana is a wooden loom used for making cloth. Long threads are tied to a wooden frame. This is the wrap. Then threads are woven through them sideways. This is the weft. The cloth is woven to the size of the garment needed.
