<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 8217802, member: 8267"]Although it looks similar, it is not made by knitting. It is made by twining, the same technique that is used in some types of basketry. The warp (the upright yarns) are stretched on a simple loom. A pair of wefts are manipulated by hand, twisting around each warp. Reversing the twist reverses the direction that the yarns travel on the surface. You can see the pairs of wefts that the weaver is working with in the photo komo posted.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]426018[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
