Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing technical job that weaves fabric using hemp fiber as raw material by machine or hand.
Description
Hemp fiber is a durable and highly breathable natural material. Hemp weavers handle the weaving process by hanging raw hemp yarn on machines or hand looms. They perform a series of tasks from adjusting yarn tension, loom maintenance, defect inspection during production, to product winding. They manage the fabric's weight and density and select weaving methods according to the intended use. In factories, operating automatic looms is mainstream, requiring quick responses to yarn breaks and machine troubles.
Future Outlook
Demand for traditional textiles domestically is limited, but attention to hemp fiber as an environmentally friendly material is increasing. With advances in automation and labor reduction, machine maintenance and manufacturing technologies for high-value-added products will be required.
