Part of the Minnesota Weaver series "Telas de los Muertos," this article surveys warp patterning in ancient Peruvian textiles, using examples from the Science Museum of Minnesota's collection. It covers supplementary warp weaves (inserts, 1:1 and 1:2 ratios), plain-weave-derived float weaves, complementary warp/weft weaves including two-color and multicolor pebble weave, turned weave, and warp/weft substitution. Entries give sett, thread counts, fibers, spin direction and approximate dates, with structure diagrams, drafts, photographs and a reference list (Rowe, Emery, Cason and Cahlander, Atwater).
