Artisans at a weaving cooperative in Tibet are working to preserve Pulu, a traditional wool fabric that has been used on the Tibetan plateau for centuries. At the Ethnic Huaji Handwoven Cooperative in Shannan, more than 100 local residents weave Pulu and its finer variety, Zeter, while passing the centuries-old craft to younger generations. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Photographs taken on July 23, 2026, during a government-organized visit for foreign journalists, show workers weaving Pulu fabric into clothing on wooden looms located near statues of Princess Wencheng and Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo.
Another image shows a worker pulling wool into yarn. Pasang, founder of the cooperative, was interviewed in a showroom of products. A final photo shows a worker standing near displayed products.
The cooperative aims not only to preserve Pulu production but also to pass this ancient craft to a new generation, marking an important step in preserving Tibet's cultural heritage.
