Tapestry weave

A type of weft-faced plain weave in which the weft yarns are discontinuous, turning back at the edges of each colour area, instead of extending continuously from selvedge to selvedge.

  • Slit tapestry weave: the discontinues weft yarns turn back around adjacent warp yarns, forming slits between the colour areas.
