Maori flax weaving can only be learnt the old way, by sitting, by listening, by touching and by doing. Start with a full leaf and pull off the hard midrib. Split it into strips of an even width right across the leaf. Before weaving, you have to soften the strips by shell or the blunt edge of a butter knife. Scrape the flax in each direction, pulling to the end of the strip each way. Hold the shiny side of the leaf facing you with the stalk pointing downwards.
Here are examples. of the most common techniques used in Coast Salish weavings and basketry: Note: The warp is the tightly stretched core of the fabric, usually the vertical. elements of the basket. The weft is what is woven between the strands of the warp. to create the designs and decoration. PLAITING. Includes checker work, twilled work and wicker work. Checker work is when the warp and weft are the same width, thickness and pliability. This is. created by weaving the weft in and out, over one warp strand and under the next. Twilled work is similar to checker work but the weft is passed over and under two or more. warps strands. This creates a diagonal pattern.
