The Appalachia region is primarily located in the mountains and is home to a diverse group of people called "Outlanders" who largely use the land for resources like food and separate themselves from city life. Folk art is an important tradition passed down through families in the Appalachian region, taking many forms like quilting, weaving, and carving. Weaving in particular is a functional folk art used to create items for daily life such as baskets and clothing, using local materials like yarn and string. The weaving process involves warping the material and then wefting additional material through the warp to create a pattern.
