In every country I've ever visited there is weaving. In India it is the 'coconut weaving' that is popular. These two young women spin the raw, rough fibers into 'yarn' that is then woven into carpets, placemats and other things. The women on the right had me feel her hands. To say they were calloused isn't right - they were one one entire callous! So, for those of you who are working, you can thank your lucky stars that you aren't a coconut weaver living in India. We are blessed.
