Begin with the dark ground
The near-black field carries every red and muka step, never the other way round.
Let steps make the rhythm
Triangles advance in strict offsets, turning movement into a measured border.
Keep the thread count spare
Three colours do the work: paru black, red oxide, and a narrow off-white accent.
Leave no curve to soften it
Edges stay angular so the system feels woven, deliberate, and held in tension.
