braider
Makes interwoven strands
A braider is a person or machine that braids—interweaving strands of hair, fabric, rope, or other material into a unified pattern.
Hair braiders style hair into cornrows, box braids, and other woven designs.
Industrial braiders produce braided cables, hoses, and textiles: The factory's new braider can produce a thousand feet of rope per hour.
