Mitoma is the proccess of wraping the wrap into the miter. This process usually requires two people and follows the following procedure: one person cuts the threads from the warp and the other passes them into the mitres. After the threads have been passed through the mites, one weaver takes them one by one and passes them to the other, who passes them through the comb. The density of the threads of the fabric is determined by the comb. Depending on how dense the fabric is required to be, one or two threads are passed through each door of the comb. When all the threads have been passed through, weaving begins. The alternating up and down mitres create the criss-crossing to ensure that the fabric is woven correctly.
