Kora Cooperative Field Notes

Every Loop Locates

1

Stripe order carries origin

Vermilion before yellow reads as one valley; blue before black points to another route.

2

Irregular bands keep the hand visible

A three-loop flash beside a twelve-loop field records the maker, not a factory repeat.

3

Color names travel faster than labels

Market buyers remember cobalt, magenta, emerald before they read a tag or receipt.

4

The bag stretches with the load

Looped structure expands for kaukau, books, or trade wool without losing its scheme.
