	Tablets in period were made of metal, bone or ivory, wood, or leather, and typically are square with a hole in each corner through which pass threads in either a left-to-right (S) or right-to-left (Z) direction. In period, tablets were also sometimes warped using only two adjacent holes, emulating weaves created using four-harness looms. Modern tablets are usually thin, sturdy cardboard or thin wood. The fabric being woven is formed by turning the tablets in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

	The technique involves a set of cards threaded with (usually) four [[thread]]s through the holes in the corners (6 is also known in [[period]]). The end of the threads are held tight and form the [[warp thread\|warp]] of the weave. The cards are turned a quarter-turn at a time, with the [[weft thread]] passing through the [[shed (weaving)\|shed]] (or gap) between the upper pair of threads and the lower pair. Each card thus twines the four threads around each other and this twine is held in place by the weft. Tablet weaving is an easier form of weaving to start, as it does not require a [[loom]] to learn, however a loom will help maintain tension and to get up and down from your weaving easily.
