Exploring different weaving techniques for basket making<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is plain weave?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Plain weave is also known as a simple weave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plain weave is done by following an over-one, under-one pattern of weaving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The over-one, under-one pattern alternates from row to row so that the stakes are also going over one, under one vertically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is twill weave?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Twill weave is a style of weaving where the weaver goes over a certain number of stakes and under a certain number of stakes in an alternating pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each row creates a pattern similar to the diagonals in denim jeans material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twill 2-2<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This twill, called a two-to-two-twill, is where the weaver is going over two stakes and then under two stakes. The next row alternates that pattern so that a stair-step pattern forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twill 1-2<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This twill is called a one-to-two-twill. This is when the weaver goes under one and over two around the basket and then alternates as you proceed with the rows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
