I had hoped to meet the museum shop buyer on this visit on the hope that the museum would be interested in selling my book but, as she ws not available, I contented myslef with sitting on the floor and perusing as many books as possible. Another kid in a candy store! I found out that the hooked Central Asian design that I wove above is called ‘kaikalak” and that this particular wrp float weaving technique is called ‘terme” in Kyrgyz. It is defined a s a warp faced alternating float flatweave where the deigs is created by using two or more sets of differently colored warp yarns.
