The comprehensive foundational book on web technology. Weaving is one of the earliest craft inventions, and even today, woven textiles are indispensable in our world. We wrap ourselves in them, adorn our windows and floors with them, and use them daily, often without even realizing it. This book looks back at the beginnings of the art of weaving and traces the development of weaving devices and techniques. It introduces the most important materials and tools and provides a step-by-step guide to hand weaving, from fabric planning to preparatory work at the loom and the proper workflow. The chapter on binding theory offers a clear overview of the most important bindings. The final section provides the opportunity to recreate woven pieces. The experienced master weaver Erika Arndt offers insights into an age-old and ever-relevant craft.
