Abstract
A Gabial (poncho/scarf) for a child is being made. Juana Nunez Balverde washes and cleans the wool and her husband José Sanchez Vera combs it. Juana spins the wool whilst José prepares the warp. The Gaban is woven on a treadle-loom. The stitched pattern is made by José Sanchez Nunez, José son, together with Juana. Finally Juana washes and knots the fringe.
