When the warp and the weft are of the same twine or material and the decussations are drawn tight the joint resembles the first half of a square knot.

TioIned or wattled hasl'etry. — This is found in ancient mounds of Mississippi Valle}^, in bagging of the Rocky Mountains, down the Pacific coast from the island of Attu, the most westerly of the Aleutian chain, to the borders of Chile, and here and there in the Atlantic slope of South America. It is the most elegant and intri- cate of all in the woven or plicated species. Twined work has a set of warp rods or rigid elements, as in wickerwork; but the weft ele- ments are commonly administered in pairs, though in three-ply twining and in braid twining threse weft elements are employed. In passing from warp to warp these elements are twisted in half-turns on each other so as to form a two-pl}^ or three-ply twine or braid. According to the relation of these weft elements to one an- other and to the warp, different struc- tures result as follows: 1. Plain hvined iveaving, over single ivarps. 2. Diagonal hvined weaving or twill, over two or more warps. 3. Wrapped twined weaving, or bird-cage twine, in which one weft element remains rigid and the other is wrapped about the crossings. 4. Latticed tivined iveaving, tee or Hudson stitch, tivined work around vertical warps crossed by hori- zontal iveft element. 5.
