In braiding, weft becomes warp, warp becomes weft. Hope your supply of freebies is not depleted. Thanks! In weaving, weft & warp are separate. In braiding, weft becomes warp, warp becomes weft.

Braiding can be flat; the standard three-strand braid usually used in braiding hair is an example. Another would be the multi-strand braided belts that are flat, but a four-strand braid can also be round and I'd venture that most other braids are round, not flat. Mind you, I've never braided more than four strands - at least, not that I remember and not yet.
