woven materials

Interlaced fiber products

Woven materials are fabrics created by interlacing threads or fibers at right angles—warp threads running lengthwise, weft threads crossing over and under.

The term encompasses textiles from cotton and silk to synthetic fibers, as well as non-fabric items like baskets and mats: The artisan specialized in woven materials from natural grasses.
