Il existe deux types de métier à tapisserie : le métier haute lisse et le métier basse lisse. Les lisses sont les fils tendus sur les chaînes arrière et qui permettent, en les tractant, de ramener la nappe de chaînes arrière sur l'avant. C'est ce système qui permet d'alterner les entrecroisements de trame.
