Figure 29. Commencement of screen (pataro whani), a, full midrib (whani) (9) with far leaflets (1, 2) and near leaflets (1′, 2′); far leaflets form natural dextrals; first near leaflet (1′) on left crossed over midrib and under its opposite leaflet (1) to form first sinistral weft, b, second near leaflet (2′) passed over midrib and also under first dextral (1) as technique is to be twill; two extra free leaflets (1″, 2″) introduced as dextrals to fill wide space between two natural dextrals (1,…
