Wicker craft has a long history of development in my country. After a long period of development change, the techniques of wicker craft are more more. The main techniques of wicker craft are flat knitting, weave knitting, curly knitting, masonry knitting, edging. Next, the fruit basket editor introduces these five techniques in detail:

Flat weave

This is the main type of work for braided flat foil. Its characteristic is that the warp weft are interlaced intertwined with each other. You can choose one two, two two, one two to form different cross-woven patterns. Reed weaving mat foil first presses the reeds into a flat sheet, then weaves, also takes flat weaving work. Other sorghum-skin weaving, bamboo stick weaving, cattail weaving are also based on plain weave. Wicker weaving is reversed by plain weave.

Twisted

Stranding is also a type of work with warp weft compression as its main feature. The difference between it flat knitting is that in warp knitting, flat knitting has the same warp weft, moves at the same time, weaving forward; while weaving is to arrange the warp pile first, the warp pile can be a rope, a sliver, a bamboo rod, even It is iron wire, then crosses up down through the warp pile with braids (willow, Huai, Jian), circulating around. After the knitting, the surface is completely covered by the weft knitting, the warp bar is exposed. Stranding requires weft-knitting slivers to be relatively soft flexible, so it is often used for weaving of cattail, fine willow mulberry strips.

Lebian

Lebian is a traditional wicker knitting type. Utensils made with Lebian are generally called "family goods". The method uses hemp rope as the warp wicker as the weft. The hemp ropes are interlaced through the wicker between each other. They are worn once tightened around the buckle. Usually, the dustpans, fences, baskets, wicker bags, etc. seen by the people are all knitted in this way. main part. To cut the edges of the utensils, it is often necessary to make additional plates, handles frames to keep the periphery neat scattered.

Build

Masonry is one of the common types of traditional hand-knitting. Utensils made by the masonry process are generally called "masonry goods". The method is mostly used for the preparation of round utensils, the method is to polymerize the braid into a handle, then use a stronger bamboo strip to wear these bundles. The commonly used folk posts, rice baskets, wastebaskets, etc. are made by this method.

Edging

Auxiliary job types are essential. It is mainly used for the edge handle parts of bar-knitting appliances. The method usually uses a hard material as the core. On the outside of the core, a soft strip (rattan skin, plastic tape, bamboo skin, etc.) is wound in a certain direction, on the one hand, it is fixed, on the other hand, it has a surface decoration effect. Single multiple strips can be used for wrapping, the strips are neatly arranged, the effect is simple generous, multiple strips can be made of materials of various colors, patterns can be compiled when winding. It can be seen in the edging joints of wax pole furniture, willow products screens.
