What would a modern civilised man be like without the soft art of weaving that surrounds his home with comforts and lies with luxury?

Weaving is one of the oldest crafts. The best part of the weaving craft was that it did not require any tools for working. It all started when men started interlacing the twigs of trees beside the river, which evolved into a weave. The same principle of weaving was developed and explored further with different materials, taking into consideration the physical properties of the material, and going further to make woven cloth from fibers.

Weaving began by creating a flat surface of 2D form in the form of mats as needed. But with the influence of pottery coming in, some flat weaves were wrapped around the clay form, which evolved into a 3D form through weaving. Then came the evolution of the woven basket. Woven baskets are the best examples of 3D forms created through weaving.
