The Technique of Tapestry

The Technique of Tapestry

Tapestry can be woven on many different styles and sizes of looms. The weaver can work on the front or the back of the cloth. The weft threads are carried through the warp by the weaver's hand. Many different weft yarns can be used in one row of weaving. This is known as the discontinuous weft technique and gives tapestry weaving its unique picture like quality. [SB] {TA}
