Sadu Nights Festival: Keeping the Art of Spinning Alive in Arar
In a vibrant celebration of tradition, the Sadu Nights Festival in Arar has resurrected the age-old art of spinning, as reported by Saudi Press Agency.
Organized by the Northern Borders Municipality, this event showcases the intricate weaving skills that have been a cornerstone of northern women’s lives for generations.
Once indispensable tools for these women, the spinning wheel and spindle were used to meticulously craft wool and hair into exquisite textiles, a process that demanded hours of dedication.
From blankets to tablecloths, these women masterfully created essential household items using only natural resources, reflecting a time-honored craft that has stood the test of time.
Beyond preserving a cherished heritage, the festival also aims to engage both young and old participants in ensuring that this tradition endures for future generations, while shining a spotlight on the invaluable role of women in society.
