LEARN THE METHODS INVOLVED WEAVING CARDS Card weaving, also known as tablet weaving, is a weaving technique that has been used for thousands of years to create strong and intricate textiles. This technique involves the use of flat tablets or cards with holes in each corner, which are threaded with yarn or thread. The tablet weaving process begins by creating a warp, which is the set of vertical threads that run the length of the fabric. The tablets are then threaded with the weft yarn or thread, which is passed through the holes in the corners of the cards. The tablets are then rotated in a specific pattern, which causes the warp threads to be raised or lowered to create a shed. The weft thread is then passed through the shed, and the process is repeated to create the desired pattern. Card weaving can be used to create a wide range of patterns and designs, including geometric shapes, stripes, and intricate motifs. It is a versatile technique that can be used to create everything from belts and straps to more complex pieces of clothing, such as jackets and vests. Card weaving is still used today by many textile artists and craftspeople, and it continues to be an important part of many cultures around the world.
