Flatweave

Flatweave is a type of textile craftsmanship where fibers are woven tightly together in a flat, two-dimensional pattern without the pile or extra thickness seen in traditional carpets. This technique results in lightweight, durable, and reversible pieces, often used for rugs, tapestries, or mats. Flatweaves are created by interlacing the warp (longitudinal) and weft (horizontal) threads, producing intricate designs and patterns. They are valued for their practicality, ease of maintenance, and ability to showcase detailed geometric or pictorial motifs from various cultural traditions.
