Weaving
mill at Innbawkon (Inpawkhon) on Lake Inle, Shan State. 83 women were
employed there in September 1998 producing complex, multi-colour silk
ikat woven lengths. The finished woven lengths were going not only to
Yangon for sale but also internationally for the fashion market. In 1998
the mill was owned and managed - with active input into the colours and
designs - by the widow of the man whose family owned the mill. He had
died in the previous year, apparently when he had received the wrong medicine
from his doctor.
