  1. Step 1 Cominciamo imparando alcuni termini di base.
    • Weaver:strip of material which, woven through the spokes together with other weavers, forms the basket;weavers are lighter, thinner and more flexible than spokes, thus making them easier to weave the basket weave;
    • Radius:vertical strip of the warp which makes up the lateral basic structure of the basket frame;the spokes are stronger and thicker than weavers.
  2. Step 2 Prendi familiarità con la tecnica d'intreccio dell'armatura tela.
    This is the most common braiding technique, and it is also the simplest.The figure illustrates the type of weave from which it is made.
  3. Step 3 L'intreccio doppio a tela è lo stesso dell'armatura a tela semplice, ma usa due tessitori appaiati di volta in volta.
    This technique is very effective when you want to weave patterns on large surfaces, or if you create complex weaver bands or patterns of the same color or contrasting colors in simple rattan baskets.
  4. Step 4 L'intreccio a due tessitori a treccia può invece essere usato sia con un numero pari che con un numero dispari di raggi.
    The two ends of the weavers are crossed by passing one inside and the other outside the spokes that form the frame of the basket.
  5. Step 5 Un'altra tecnica è quella dell'intreccio triplo, in cui si usano tre tessitori.
    Starting from the first, each weaver is always placed above the other two, passing in front of two rays, behind the ray that follows and again in front of two other rays.This type of weaving is excellent for large baskets in which extra spokes have been inserted into the side frame or for redoing the upper edge of old baskets.
