HOW TO PLAY
1

Each player sets up an identical simple frame with starting threads in place.

2

On the signal, players weave their fabric strips over and under the threads as quickly and neatly as possible.

3

A judge periodically checks each player's pattern for accuracy, not just speed.

4

The first player to complete a set length of clean, even weaving wins.

5

Sloppy or uneven weaving can be sent back to redo a section, costing valuable time.
