Books from The Woolery


  Byways in Handweaving

Author: Mary Meigs Atwater

This book was first printed in 1951 by the author who first produced the Shuttle-craft Guild in 1914. It addreses the authors interest in warp and weft manipulation and fabric design. The techniques described in the book are extremely ancient, leading back beyond the dawnof his; few have been adequately descibed elsewhere; none require large or elaborate equipment, some none at all.

Perhaps the table of contents presents the content best: card weaving, inkle weaving, twined weaving, braiding and knotting, plaiting, a group of belt-weaves, four Guatemalan belt-weaves and more. An interesting book.
