The beautiful and mysterious creation of a T'nalak fabric begins by the influence
of a spirit named FU DALU (the spirit of abaca).The inspiration is only given to a
chosen female weaver through dreaming, and the dream is woven into an intricate
pattern using abaca threads dyed in traditional red (signifying bravery),
black (representing struggles) & white (standing for purity).
