They have four warps, each one made of one yucca leaf; the small ends are brought to the heel, where they are tied together in the triple knot shown in figure 71, h. The attachment at the toe is made by shredding out a bunch of the fiber of each leaf and fastening these bunches together (fig. 71, a). The rest of the ends protrude to form a toe fringe. The type differs from the analogous Cliff- dweller one in the toe and heel warp ties, and in the presence of a toe fringe. Type /, h.âCross weaving of crushed yucca leaves over warps of the same mate- rial (pi. 67, &). The leaves appear to have been rolled or crushed before they were woven; although this process did not en- tirely remove the parenchyma, it rendered the elements fibrous and easy to manipulate; the completed article, too, was probably softer to the foot than a sandal made of natural leaves. Each one of the four, sometimes six, warps consists of two leaves; they are fastened at the toe and heel in the same manner as in the simpler type de- scribed above (fig. 71). The heel is often Fig. 71.âToe and heel warp gomewhat rounded, but the toe is usually ties of Type I, a, sandal. , .
