Hexweave Cloth in WoW is probably meant to refer to hexes like spells, but I can't help but imagine it all as being triaxially woven so that the pattern of the weave forms hexagons rather than squares, and I'm in danger of giving myself more projects to try and figure out how to do it at that scale

#most of the projects I'm seeing seem to be more like. basket weaving or tiny little samplers with ribbon #And I'm trying to think of how you could scale that up (or down rather?) for yardage #But most of the things I can find for full scale triaxial looms seem to be limited to heavily industrial applications #As in like.. carbon fiber material #The best case I'm seeing for hand weaving is hexagonal or triangular looms that are a couple feet wide #and then that's it that's the size of your fabric #Which isn't good enough!!#watch me get way too invested in this and try to reinvent the wheel (loom) and ignore all the projects I should be working on
