Sedge appeared in Kim Son two centuries ago but it has played
an important role in the district’s economy. The Kim Son people have
used this material to make many products like mat, carpet, baskest,
trays, boxs, dishs, cups, tumblers, bags and hats.
About
sedge products, sedge-mat weaving should be mentioned first. Mat
weaving is a creative, hard and careful manufacture; from the process of
choosing, drying and dying sedge to have a scarlet and fast color; the
jute must be small and strong for the process of weaving. The worker who
weaves flower-patterns on the mat must be brisk, flexible, and
sharp-eyed. He must have a skill of weaving to make patterns accurately
without mistakes. The worker who “lao coi” (insert sedge) must be
well-balanced with the weaving worker. There should be careful and
smooth cooperation between “lao coi” worker and weaving worker.
