A weft-facing technique of weaving, wherein coloured weft yarns are interlaced with plain-coloured warp. The design is created using the discontinuous weft technique, where weft threads are woven back and forth across a specific section of the warp to create a block of colour. The weft yarns disproportionately outnumber the warp, which is beaten down to display the coloured weft. The weave is typically executed on a tapestry loom.
