Great example
of symmetrical
balance
Something is symmetrical when it is the
same on both sides.

A shape has symmetry if a central dividing line

(a mirror line) can be drawn on it, to show that both
sides of the shape are exactly the same.

How are we going to be weaving?
Looma frame that the weaving
is done on.
Warpstrings that go vertically
on the loom. These strings form
the base for our weaving.
Weftstrings that go horizontally
across the loom and under/ over
the warp strings.
Shuttle the tape at the end of
the yarn to help you go under/
over the warp.
