The artworks of mat weaving are woven in two ways, which are:
- mesh
- twisting
in the method of mesh weaving when weaving Threads, network and apertures are created in regular and geometric proportions in the product (such as types of mats and bamboo); But in the twisting or spiral method, strings are first woven in the form of ropes or tapes, and then they are twisted and connected together in a spiral form to obtain the final object.
Note: In the production of one of the types of mats that are mostly used for curtains, a number of thin reeds of the marsh are the same size and placed next to each other parallel to each other, then tied with thread at specific intervals. are connected to each other. The sides of these mats are usually covered with a 3 to 5 cm cotton fabric and sewn.
stages of producing mattress tissue
Raw materials including palm leaves, reed stalks, wheat and rice stalks or thin willow leaves are prepared. If reed stems are used, they are cut after soaking and made into thin strips. Designs and grid patterns can be created
stages of producing mattress by torsion tissue
Raw materials including palm leaves, reed stalks, wheat and rice and thin willow leaves are prepared. Several threads are woven into ribbons or twisted around each other like a rope. The resulting rope or tape is connected to each other spirally from the center of the circle according to the appearance of the desired object. If some strands are colored, colorful works can also be created. Also, sometimes they decorate them by sewing some arrays, including colored threads, on such works.
