I am definitely intrigued by this premise. I get a strong sense of place. I do love the lyrical language. it does seem as though there might be a bit too much description. If the loom and weaving and whatnot is a running theme that will continue to be important, then it might all work. However, at least initially, it felt like you spent a bit too much time describing the weaving that was going on before the uncle arrived. I don't mean this to say don't have detailed descriptions. I think those descriptions are your strongest point so far. But perhaps shorten them a bit. I think it is tricky to strike a balance between giving us that strong sense of place that is so great in these early chapters, with not distracting us when there is action happening. Good luck with this story. It seems really cool and I hope it all goes/does really well.
