This form of weaving broke with the traditional horizontal orientation of weft (or how yarn was passed over and under the stationary warp threads) to a diagonal orientation. Although this weaving technique is a more efficient way to create diagonals(comma) it effects the structure of the rug or blanket. Wedge weaves are characterized by zigzag lines and scalloped edges. This example is made of natural(comma) carded(comma) and aniline colors. The use of the aniline dyes from Germantown(comma) PA(comma) allowed the incorporation of more stunningly bright colors.
