tapestry

n. heavy woven cloth that is used as a decorative wall-hanging or as a cover for furniture

This article is about the textile art. For other uses see Tapestry (disambiguation). Tapestry is a form of textile art. It is woven by hand on a vertical loom. It is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp threads are hidden in the completed work, unlike cloth weaving where both the warp and the weft threads may be visible. In this way, a colourful pattern or image is created. Most weavers use a naturally based warp thread such as linen or cotton. The weft threads are usually wool or cotton, but may include silk, gold, silver, or other alternatives.

To dream of seeing rich tapestry, foretells that luxurious living will be to your liking, and if the tapestries are not worn or ragged, you will be able to gratify your inclinations. If a young woman dreams that her rooms are hung with tapestry, she will soon wed some one who is rich and above her in standing.
