How to weave a fan with cattail?

Start:

First, cut the leaves of cattail leaf into 1 m ~ 1.2 m long segments, generally starting with 18 ~ 22 pieces according to the size of the cattail leaf. This paper takes 18 root as an example. 9 in a row, the upper and lower floors overlap, in groups of two. Use the thin leaves of 1 Typha angustifolia as a rope, wrap the leaves of Typha angustifolia in groups from one side, about 8 inches away from the end of the leaves, connect them in series, and screw the two ends of the rope together so as not to come apart.

Continuation:

Four meridians are added on the front and left. A, pick 3, press 2, pick 2 from bottom to top, press 2; B, pick 2 from bottom to top, press 2, pick 2, press 2; Article C: Pick 1 from bottom to top, press 2, pick 2, press 2; D, press 2 from bottom to top, point 2, press 2. The first four weft strips are folded into warp yarns from the right. The fourth weft is folded down to the back and becomes a warp. Select 1 press 2; The third weft is folded down to the back as the warp. Select 1 and press1; The second weft yarn is folded back to the warp weft yarn1; The fourth weft is folded down to the back to become a warp, and there is no woven fabric for the time being. The back of the fan is also the same pattern.

Co-editor:

On the front side, the second warp yarn is pressed to 1 from bottom to top, 1 warp yarn and continuous warp yarns A, B, C and D are woven to the upper end according to the rule of selecting 2 from bottom to top, so that the pattern is uniform. The back warp is also woven in this way.

Edge closure:

When the left and right warp yarns are interwoven into five and a half "two-grain" patterns, they are changed from picking 2 and pressing 2 to picking 1 pressing 1 wrapping. Starting from the continuation D, outside the second pattern, pick 1 press 1 press 1, then fold back to the right, pick 1 pick 1 press 1, and then pick 2 and press 2. The number of patterns on both sides should be equal to ensure left-right symmetry.

Tie the handle:

The so-called tie handle is to tie the handle of the hand-held cattail leaf fan. After the left and right sides are woven and folded, the upper half of the handle is folded back with 3 to 4 horizontal strips, and the rest are interspersed with each other; The horizontal and vertical bamboo strips in the lower half are combed into two layers of warp strips, and the handle is tied with the positive twisting force of the warp strips, and the rest are cut off. Generally, 3 ~ 4 lanes are bound, and each lane is wrapped around 4 ~ 5 times.
