Basket Weaving

A Tecelagem de Cestas é uma variação da construção básica do Weave Liso.

Basket weaving (basketry or basket making or basket art) is the process of weaving or sewing pliable materials into two- or three dimensional artifacts, such as mats or containers. Craftspeople and artists specialized in making baskets are usually referred to as basket makers and basket weavers.

Basketry is made from a variety of fibrous or pliable materials—anything that will bend and form a shape. Examples include pine straw, willow, oak, wisteria, forsythia, vines, stems, animal hair, hide, grasses, thread, and fine wooden splints.

Basket weave is a variation of the basic Plain Weave construction. It used a Warp and a Weft yarn like in all types of weaving. The Warp yarn is anchored at both ends of where the fabric will be and the weft yarn is interwoven through these yarns. Like plain weave, Basket weave follows the same pattern of the Weft yarn going under one warp yarn and over the next, creating a checkerboard effect.

The difference between basket weave and plain weave is that adjacent yarns are grouped together. They are usually grouped in pairs, but sometimes more yarns can be grouped together. These are woven as if they are one yarn. This results in a fabric that resembles a woven basket; this is where the name originates.
