Abstract
Weaves are eigenstates of geometrical operators in nonperturbative quantum gravity, which approximate flat space (or other smooth geometries) at large scales. We describe two such states, which diagonalize the area as well as the volume operators. The existence of such states shows that some earlier worries about the difficulty of realizing kinematical states with non-vanishing volume can be overcome. We also show that the Q operator used in earlier work for extracting geometrical information from quantum states does not capture more information than the area and volume operators.
