Wooden implements used in the production and preparation of yarn, frame looms, traditionally produced and dyed cotton thread, and handwoven textiles, comprise the Abel-Iloko Exhibition. Various patterns done through different weaving design techniques are shown through the textiles on exhibit. Traditionally regarded as heirloom pieces, the woven cloth and the patterns that these carry reflect both the weavers’ and consumers’ sense of aesthetics and what to them are culturally meaningful. Apart from their utilitarian functions as garments, blankets and towels, some of the cloth serve as ritual items.
