weaving
Making fabric manually
Weaving is the craft of interlacing threads or strips to create fabric or other materials.
Vertical warp threads are held taut while horizontal weft threads pass over and under them.
The term extends to any similar interlacing: basket weaving, weaving palm fronds into a roof.
To weave through something is to move by threading between obstacles: She was weaving through traffic.
The past tense is wove for fabric, weaved for movement.
