Caoxian Straw Weaving

Caoxian Straw Weaving

　　Craftsmanship: Materials are selected meticulously—corn husks, bulrush, wheat straw, flaxleaf fleabane, and triangular grass must be clean, straight, pure white, and have long stems. The entire weaving process is done by hand. When starting, the warp threads should be thin to ensure tight twists; for six-straight products, they must remain straight with evenly spaced needles. For round products, the texture must be clear, and additional stitches must be added in a regular pattern; stitches must not be inserted straight, flat, or deep, but rather diagonally from top to bottom, so that the warp threads stand out, creating a crisp and attractive appearance.
