weave
Thread through thread
Weave is to interlace threads or strips to create fabric or a structure—the fundamental process behind textiles, baskets, and wicker furniture.
The pattern of interlacing is also called a weave: a tight weave, a loose weave.
Extended meanings involve combining elements into a whole: She wove the anecdotes into a compelling narrative.
To weave through traffic or a crowd is to move by threading between obstacles.
A weaver is one who weaves; a loom is the apparatus.
