This handloom woven pinilian fabric is typical of an Ilocano weave that tells a story. Ilocanos looked up to the stars for signs of good harvest or bad omens. It was their guide. Since most of the weavers lived by the river, this pattern tell us that the weaver who lived by the river, was probably looking out the window at a comet that seemed to blossom into a flower as it moves across the sky leaving stardust. Hence, the name karayan (river) ken (and) sinansabong nga bitwen (blossoming star.)
