| The Karen is the largest highland group in Thailand. There are two major subtribes, namely Sgaw Karen and Pwo Karen. Karen population is estimated at around 293,000 which is about 50% of the total hilltribe population of Thailand. Karen women are noted for their ikat (tie-dye) weaving, using cotton thread and natural dyes. The weaving is done on a back strap loom. Karen living in different areas produce their own style of dresses, which give rich variety to handicrafts produced. Some of them embroider using Job's tears (seeds) for embellishment. Karen men produce baskets, musical instruments, betel nut boxes and animal bells.
