Answer 2

Basketry is the craft of making objects by weaving or coiling together materials like grasses or twigs. The resulting objects are called baskets.

There are four basic techniques for making baskets. Three of them involve warp and weft threads, and often the thicker, ridge warp pieces serve as ribs or supports for the shape of the basket. In most cases, any natural materials are soaked in water to make them more pliable and easier to work with during the weaving process.
