Monk's Belt Pattern Weaving
Create bold geometric patterns using supplementary warp threads on a multi-shaft loom.
Monk's belt is a weaving pattern that uses supplementary warp threads laid over the ground weave to create bold stripes and geometric patterns. The technique works on 4-shaft or floor looms and produces striking, three-dimensional effects with relatively simple threading. Named for medieval monastic textiles, it remains popular for creating scarves, upholstery, and decorative fabrics with dramatic impact.
