Sample – Finger Weaving
Fingerweaving is a low tech method for producing cloth. This technique is used to create the traditional sash of the Voyageurs. Because of the arrow pattern which occurs in the centre of these belts, they are called Arrow Sashes or Ceinture Fléchées. All threads are lengthwise (called the warp) in the fabric and each thread takes a turn at being the width-wise thread (known as the weft). This movement causes a tangled mass called the false weave that the weaver must untangle as the sash progresses.
