Bamboo weaving

Bamboo weaving is a type of bambooworking in which two distinct sets of bamboo strips are interlaced at normally right angles to form an object. The longitudinal threads are called the warp and the lateral threads are the weft or filling. (Weft or woof is an old English word meaning "that which is woven".[lower-alpha 1]) The method in which these strips are inter-woven affects the characteristics of the fabric.[1] Bamboo is usually woven by hand.

Especially in southeast Asia and east Asia through the natural abundance of bamboo as material did bamboo weaving develop since centuries.

gollark: https://pack.switchcraft.pw works fine, doesn't it?
gollark: What problem are you encountering and how did you install the pack?
gollark: Also, I don't play AAA games, I only play ones which don't waste *all* my computing power.
gollark: 120 GB? I'd never download that. Not only would my internet connection make that take a while, but (HDD) storage is something like 2p/GB so I'd effectively be paying an extra £2.40. On the flash storage I prefer to use, £9.60 and I'd have to buy a new SSD.
gollark: Not very accurately, mind you.
