Tapestry is a form of
textile art, traditionally
woven on a vertical
loom. Tapestries are mostly found in high quality museums. Tapestry is
weft-faced weaving, in which all the
warp threads are hidden in the completed work, unlike cloth weaving where both the warp and the weft threads may be visible. In tapestry weaving, weft yarns are typically discontinuous; the artisan interlaces each coloured weft back and forth in its own small pattern area. It is a plain weft-faced weave having weft threads of different colours worked over portions of the warp to form the design.
