Basketry Types
Basketry can be classified into four types according to Catherine Erdly
- "Coiled" basketry
- using grasses and rushes
- "Plaiting" basketry
- using materials that are wide and braidlike
palms, yucca or New Zealand flax
- "Twining" basketry
- using materials from roots and tree bark. Twining actually refers to a weaving technique where two or more flexible weaving elements ("weavers") cross each other as they weave through the stiffer radial spokes.
- "Wicker" and "Splint" basketry
- using reed, cane, willow, oak, and ash
plain weave

Famous quotes containing the word types:
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
