materials. They are woven together at right angles in
either diagonal, or horizontal and vertical orientation.

tree bark. Twining actually refers to a weaving
technique where two or more flexible weaving

elements or weavers cross each

other as they weave through the

baskets, two or more flexible
elements are used to encircle another base element. When two weavers
are used, this technique is called pairing. When three or more elements or
weavers are twisted, it is called waling.
