It was found that there were two changes of the Sam Nua textiles: color and craftsmanship. For color change, chemical dyes from Thailand and Vientiane are now used. Textiles from natural dyes became more expensive and produced by limited groups only. However, for craftsmanship, the fabrics are not as tight and strong as they used to be, because production is needed in larger amounts in order to meet the demand of customers. As for the adaptation of the weavers, it was a gradual process subject to the demand of direct customers and middlemen. The adaptation is of two kinds: producing traditional textiles like sarongs and producing new products like shawls or pillow cases.
