A Tapestry is the result of the intersection of two kinds of threads: warp threads stretched on the loom and coming from the roller. These threads are laid out lengthways (warping). the colored weft threads crossing the warps with the help of the shuttle. These weft threads are laid out crossways (weaving).Two techniques exist in the manufacture of the tapestries: the "Haute-lisse" and the "Basse-lisse". These two techniques are radically different. However, once the work completed, it is often impossible to recognize the difference between them. The Haute-Lisse loom is composed of two pillars supporting two mobile cylinders (rollers), the first one placed in the higher part, and the other in the lower part. Weaving is thus made vertically. With the Basse-Lisse loom, the warp is stretched on a horizontal plan, thus weaving is made horizontally.
