A Weaving song is a type of Hometree song often sung by Na'vi as they work on a loom. The songs are centered around Eywa, and describe her in context as a cosmic weaver who brings the disparate elements of Pandora together into a harmonious whole.
The following is an example of a weaving song.

Trivia[]
- This is the song being sung at dinner after Jake Sully first comes to Hometree. As he and Neytiri ascend the spiral, the singer can be heard singing "..le-Na'vi, / Oeru te..." and skips to a different line, singing "Trra sì txo—" before being interrupted mid-word by Jake's arrival.
