Weaving is a type of handicraft. There are reports of very ancient civilizations using weaving for various things, which made weaving the oldest handicraft technique in the world. In short, this technique refers to the interweaving of threads, where each thread is interwoven at once, forming a fabric that can be used for making clothes, outerwear, sheets, linings for furniture, among others.
The Tlingit people of the Pacific Northwest used fiber weaving to create their ceremonial Chilkat blankets, weaving goat wool and cedar bark into a large flat fabric decorated with abstract patterns.
