Plain Weave

The plain weave is the process of pulling the weft thread (horizontal thread) over the first warp thread (vertical thread), then under the second, over the third, and so on until the weaver gets to the end of the warp threads. On the second pass back, the weaver is starting opposite of where they ended. To make this process quicker they can use a shed stick which is all the way across the warp threads and creates a gap between the lower and upper warp threads.
