Wrapped Twine: one weft is kept tight on the inside of the basket while a second weft is wrapped around it and the warp element. (Weft is the active weaving element in basketry, and is usually horizontal in twining. Warp is the foundation element, and is usually vertical in twining.)

Sorry, this is not the technique used to create the design on your basket. Please look again and make another selection.
