Figure 17. Twilled baskets, extra wefts and end join: a, right end of plaiting; b, left end. Space between sinistral wefts (1, 2) too wide so single closed leaflet (3) inserted as extra weft with butt end between the two midrib strips, plaited in usual way; sinistrals have all been twisted forward to left under weft in front; weft (20) on right being first to commence, twisting has no weft through loop formed between it and next weft; left end of plaiting (b) brought around in apposition to rig…

Similar technique adopted with ends of dextral strip.
