I have just started to weave on my new warp weighted loom. This is a traditional Sea Sámi ratnu/rana/grene, a weave produced for sale to the mountain Sámi. I use colourful stripes, as they used to be made before the 2nd World war. During the war, German soldiers burned the Norwegian Sea Sámi farms. After that, all ratnus were made only in white, grey and black. I look upon this as an expression of grief. I now restore the colours, and add some new, taking them back as a reclamation act.
