The core weave or 'balay' of the kinab'anan is a hexagram shaped like a star. The hexagram is a mysterious geometrical figure that is ever present in most weaving patterns in indigenous crafts. Others call this weave as hexagonal weave and it is widely known as the mad weave for reason still unknown. The local weavers of Bulusan and Bacon however attribute the weaving style to a mad woman hence the name. Of course, this tale is just a local lore.
