Silk tapestry is one of the most graceful products of ancient Chinese handicraft. Its technique is different from most other woven goods. In the making of most woven materials, the weft thread runs the entire width of the warp according to a fixed pattern to create the required design. In silk tapestry, however, the shuttle carries the colored weft thread back and forth across the warp only within the predetermined pattern until the design is completed.
