Weave Identification

[Peanut]

Is it permitted for me to post a picture of a weave to request identification? I’ve been through pages of weave images and a lot of them are starting to look the same. I’m sure the expertise here could save my sight and sanity.

TIA

Post away!

There seems to be a wire down the middle of the weave, to maintain the shape of the item. It looks fairly simple, but I’m not experienced enough to work it out my own self.

Thank you!! Weirdly, the email notification I received says 4-in-1 and your onsite post says 3-in-1. Friday the 13 gremlins are at work 😳

That's because he originally said HP 4 in 1 and then edited his post to HP 3 in 1. No gremlins on the site, just Karpeth

In reference to your initial question, it's rare that you see HP 3 in 1 reinforced with wire like that. Usually something like that is done to stabilize the persian form of 2 in 1 chain which will revert to regular 2 in 1 without reinforcement.

The wire is to create a candy cane shape.
