Yai has worked for Warm Heart for five years making handwoven scarves in silk, cotton and rayon. Since then, she and her sister have also learned how to dye yarn using only natural, organic materials.
A major portion of their income comes from Warm Heart; otherwise, they are also part of the local Padaeng weaving group which operates a mini-business selling handicrafts. Right now she is happy with the way she is working.
Regarding Warm Heart’s scarves, she thinks the most difficult production is the eri silk scarves because the yarn is soft and delicate; it stretches when she weaves and the yarns can easily break.
Although overall she finds the scarves beautiful, she says mostly she concentrates on the technical weaving aspect and doesn't think too much about the patterns and colors which Warm Heart assigns.
Yai is satisfied with the payment she gets from Warm Heart. She loves working for Warm Heart because she doesn't have to worry about design or selling and can put all her energy into the weaving.
