What is Aunt Jennifer making in this Adrienne Rich poem?

like what is it called, what she is making/doing with the wool

Aunt Jennifer's tigers prance across a screen,
Bright topaz denizens of a world of green.
They do not fear the men beneath the tree;
They pace in sleek chivalric certainty.

Aunt Jennifer's finger fluttering through her wool
Find even the ivory needle hard to pull.
The massive weight of Uncle's wedding band
Sits heavily upon Aunt Jennifer's hand.

When Aunt is dead, her terrified hands will lie
Still ringed with ordeals she was mastered by.
The tigers in the panel that she made
Will go on prancing, proud and unafraid.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

She's using a loom or is embroidering - "screen", "ivory needle", "panel". When she's done, the tapestry/rug/pillow/picture will have a tree, men, and tigers.
