See the Threads and Weave of History at the Yakan Weaving Village!

The Yakan Weaving Village is a famous heritage site for the Yakan Tribe. When you enter their village, you will be greeted with their merchandise that the indigenous tribe weaved themselves. There are multiple stalls selling you affordable fabrics and clothing that were all made from traditional and indigenous weaving techniques.

Yakan weaving is famous for their bold and vibrant colors being used in detailed geometric patterns. But that is not all the village is for. The Yakan tribe is the symbol of their resilience when they left their hometown amidst the escalating violence in Basilan. They have kept their pride towards their culture even if they have left their ancestral homes.

Their weaving technique uses fibers from pineapple and abaca plants. The fabrics are then dyed using extracts from the parts of plants like leaves, roots, and barks. But now, they are using chemical dyes for their products for better customer experience.

Their tapestry tradition is called Tennun, and it is used to make plenty of crafts like shoes, bags, pillowcases, place mats, and many more! Despite the prolific nature of the weavers, it is guaranteed that every handwoven product is unique.
