We must pause to note here that the texture of the web in tablet weaving, as it is generally done, differs from that of tapestry weaving as described in Book I, or ordinary table loom or treadle weaving to be described in Book III. In both these methods the perfectly straight stretched warp and the straight, though more or less tight, shoot of weft are simply interlaced at right angles, but the texture peculiar to tablet weaving depends on the warp threads being twisted together between each throw of the weft; moreover, the weft is generally very inconspicuous and simply binds and holds the twists together between each turn of the bundle of tablets, whether they are turned forward or backward. The necessary twisting of the warp is effected by turning the whole bundle over in the direction parallel with the warp threads (see arrows, Fig. 32). Thus, turning the tablets, one way or the other, a quarter, half, three-quarters, or a whole turn, gives a more or less complete twist to each four threads of the whole warp. From this description it will be gathered that tablet weaving is almost entirely a warp effect.
