(b) THREE-PLY BRAID.—In three-ply braid the weft elementsare held in the hand in the same fashion, but instead of being twinedsimply they are plaited or braided, and as each element passes underone and over the other of the remaining two elements, it is carried.

On the surface,when the work is driven home, it is impossible to discriminate betweenthree-ply twine and three-ply braid. The three-ply braid is found atthe starting of all Poma twined baskets, no matter how the rest is builtup. Fig. 210 shows a square inch from the surface of a Hopi twined jar.
