Ply-split braiding

Ply-split braiding is a textile technique that involves creating intricate patterns and structures using multiple strands of yarn or thread. This technique is distinct because it utilizes the split ends of a ply of yarn to form braids and designs rather than wrapping or intertwining the strands in the traditional sense. In ply-split braiding, a cord or a thicker yarn is first split into two or more segments, allowing the subsequent yarns to be threaded through these splits to create a woven appearance.
