Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialist occupation manufacturing rasha (rasha) fabric, a thick plain-weave cloth made from wool.
Description
Rasha weavers are artisans who produce thick plain-weave fabrics called rasha using wool or blended yarns. In the weaving process, they adjust the tension of warp and weft yarns, form the fabric structure on the loom, and then apply nap-raising and finishing processes to raise the fibers, creating a distinctive soft, napped texture. They also handle fabric quality control, machine maintenance, pattern and color selection, requiring knowledge of both traditional techniques and modern mechanized technologies.
Future Outlook
Although the domestic textile industry is seeing a decline in the number of workers due to mechanization and overseas production, demand for specialists is expected to remain in traditional and high value-added product sectors.
