But for a long time they did not try to ornament their baskets.
They wove their baskets so carefully that they were beautiful without ornaments.
At first they wove each woof strand under and over each strand of the warp.
Then they began to weave each woof strand over one and under two.
“At first they wove each woof strand under and over each strand of the warp”
This made such a pretty pattern that they tried other ways of weaving.
They soon learned to use strands of different sizes, and after a while they learned how to color them.
But they could not make such dyes as we have until they learned to boil water.
