Type of male tunic, or small poncho, that is short and open at the sides, generally made in warp face technique, in a single piece, it includes the ponchito, poncho and padded unco.
Men's garment, like a rectangular tunic, of a single piece, with a whole for the head to pass through and sewn at its ends, with two holes for the legs to go through.
Men's tunic, made on a vertical loom, from a single piece in the form of two rectangles, folded in half at shoulder level and stitched together along the sides, leaving an opening for the legs: it can hang down to the knees.
In warp faced weaves, the processing of warping up the loom with warp threads in a figure-eight turns of the loom crosspoles, so setting up the structure of the cloth according to the number of the warps used. This task is usually carried out by two people, in the absence of an instrument specifically for this purpose. As part of the warp it is also necessary to set up the heddles according to the number of layers, and the securing rope. In the case of weft face, the warp is much simpler, with a single warp.
Hollow instrument of wood or bone, some 7cm long and 2 or 3 cm in diameter, with holes leading from the surface to the interior of the instrument, whose function as winder, warper and tautener, allows a single person to work on these processes rather than two.
A hollow instrument of wood or bone, some 7cm in length and 2 or 3 cm in diameter, with three or more openings running from the surface into the interior of the instrument, whose function as warper allows just one person to work in these processes rather than two. The number of openings has a direct relation to the quantity of warp threads in play in the fabric structure, in this case at a complex level.

Weave characterised by areas of different colours or textures in warp face, generated by discontinuous warp threads. In its elaboration, a frame of horizontal wefts is used, around which the warp threads of a block of clour are interlaced with those of another colour. This technique is occasionally called 'warp faced tapestry' technique.
