Colour: Observe
the songket that features a variety of colours. Notice the intricacy
of the weft and thread composed. In the art of songket, any piece
with multi-coloured gold threads patterns are much harder to make
than the single or double coloured gold threads. A weavers needs
to constantly change the coloured thread every row at each desired
spots to faithfully produce the design pattern onto the fabric,
which at most, can only produce less than 3 inches of work per
day. Such laborious effort is itself a sign of quality and time
commitment.
