Tapa cloth is not woven
Sources referenced in the article and WP elsewhere consistently describe Tapa cloth as MADE or BEATEN, but never WOVEN. Weaving interlaces two sets of perpendicular fibers. Tapa, in contrast, begins as a sheet of bark that is beaten to become extremely thin, wide, and long. Various sheets are then beaten together in a wet process to create larger pieces, similar to Felt. Justaxn (talk) 02:53, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
