La trama no puede ser preparada de la misma manera y consiste en un solo hilo que se hace pasar por entre los hilos de la urdimbre, perpendicularmente a los mismos, de un borde a otro del tejido, primeramente en un sentido y luego en la dirección opuesta, y así sucesivamente. 1, record 1, Spanish, - trama
