Why tapestry can picture because the weft is the face

Tapestry can picture a scene because colored wefts completely cover the warp and form the face.

From the opening

Tapestry can picture because it is weft-faced: the weft is packed so tightly that it hides the warp and becomes the entire surface the eye sees. Different colors of weft can be worked in separate areas, so the image is built from those yarns rather than from a dye printed on afterward. The opening covers packed weft hides the warp, each color weaves its own area, and discontinuous wefts can leave slits.

The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
