Weft substitution ©Marla MallettWeft-substitution ( Weft substitution )
Fine designing has been done by Moroccan, Algerian, Baluch, Turkmen and Persian Afshar weft-substitution weavers; they substitute variously colored wefts as desired in otherwise perfectly plain weaves. Although there is not an easy popular label for this technique, the structure is distinctive. Like tapestry, this is a weft-faced weave: we see the warps only where they emerge at the end of a weaving as fringe.
