For thousands of years man has interlaced threads to weave cloth with which to clothe himself and to provide warmth, shelter and decoration. The fibres, equipment and techniques used have varied greatly and the results include textiles such as delicate gauzes woven on backstrap looms in Peru, glowing rugs from the Middle East, fine Coptic tapestries from Egypt and double cloths from Scandinavia.
Today in the West machinery has taken over many of the repetitive tasks of weaving and the handweaver is free to explore the effects of particular yarns, designs and weaves not economic for the industrial process. Weaving an article for use or for pleasure can be a very satisfying experience and we hope that this book helps you to enjoy the craft of the weaver.
Over 400 photographs and drawings illustrate the techniques with many examples of the rich traditions of weaving past and present.
