Baskets have "spokes" and "weavers" instead of warp and weft. The spokes are the foundational elements that are usually vertical, while the weavers are the horizontal materials that are woven around the spokes.
The simplest weave is often referred to as the "plain weave," which involves a basic over-and-under pattern. In basketry, this might be represented by weaving a single weaver over and under each spoke consistently.
Continuous weave typically refers to a method where the weavers are inserted in a continuous fashion without having to stop and start again, allowing for a more fluid and uninterrupted process in creating the basket.
Twill weave is a technique characterized by a diagonal pattern created as the weavers pass over and under the spokes in a staggered pattern rather than strictly alternating. This creates a textured design and often enhances the strength and flexibility of the basket.
In basket-making, you typically start at the bottom of the basket. The base is created first, and then the sides are built up from there as you progress.
