Ply-Split Braided Baskets
Exploring Sculpture in Plain Oblique Twining
David W. Fraser
Ply-split braiding is a technique for making textiles by parting the plies of one cord (the splittee) with a needle or similar tool, drawing a second cord (the splitter) through the gap made in the first cord, and repeating the process many times over. With images, including patterns, these techniques illustrate how to make baskets using plain oblique twining, a version of ply-split braiding particularly well-suited for the art of basketry.
I received a copy of this via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
There are some very neat projects in this book. The instructions are well done and easy to follow while also having a lot of in-depth information. I thought I'd try them out, but I think I'll start with something a bit easier when I finally begin making some baskets.
