Abstract

We investigate how to replace the threads in a weaving by braided threads and how to interweave them with each other. Based on our findings, we introduce a subdivision scheme applicable to interwoven braids made of an arbitrary number of threads, leading to a fractal-like output. We realize our results both digitally and in handmade form.
