Contained within this book is a classic guide to weaving, focusing on weaving narrow pieces of fabric.

This fantastic guide offers the reader interesting historical information before exploring the different methods and materials of narrow fabric weaving. Highly recommended for those with an interest in weaving and needle work in general.

Contents include:

“The Darning Method”, “The Vertical (or upright) Loom”, “The Horizontal (or Flat) Loom”, “The Addition of Ancillary Motions”, “The Dutch Loom”, “Loom Developments”, “Location of the Industry”, “Quill Winding”, “The Tape Loom”, “Goose-Eye Patterns”, etc.

Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on textiles and weaving.
