Basketry Types
Basketry can be classified into four types according to Catherine Erdly
- "Coiled" basketry
- using grasses and rushes
- "Plaiting" basketry
- using materials that are wide and braidlike
palms, yucca or New Zealand flax
- "Twining" basketry
- using materials from roots and tree bark. Twining actually refers to a weaving technique where two or more flexible weaving elements ("weavers") cross each other as they weave through the stiffer radial spokes.
- "Wicker" and "Splint" basketry
- using reed, cane, willow, oak, and ash
plain weave

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“The bourgeoisie loves so-called “positive” types and novels with happy endings since they lull one into thinking that it is fine to simultaneously acquire capital and maintain one’s innocence, to be a beast and still be happy.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
