Over the course of 3 weeks, nearly 20 trainees who are youngsters of Co Tu ethnic minorities in Thuong Lo commune are taught by two artisans the skills in knitting techniques with cane, bamboo and rattan materials. The trainees will make daily living items and some items in traditional rituals. These products are currently valuable as they can serve the tourists, especially the foreign visitors.

It is known that for years, Nam Dong district has invested a great amount of money to restore traditional crafts, including the famous knitting craft of Co Tu ethnic minorities.
