Weaving is a method of fiber arts where artists interlace two distinct yarn sets at right angles to each other, resulting in a larger textile, fabric, or cloth. It’s usually made on a weaving loom, with the warp (the up and down threads) being held in place while the weft (side to side threads) are woven between them. Different styles of weaving, like plain weave, satin weave, or twill weave, give the cloth different characteristics.
Weavings and woven fabric art are great additions to home decor, like woven landscapes to hang in a frame or woven tapestries to create an accent wall. Artisans with shops on Etsy craft handwoven pieces of art placemats for tables, potholders, and floor rugs.
