Weaving is one of the earliest craft inventions and even today, woven textiles are an integral part of our world. We wrap ourselves in them, decorate our windows and floors with them and use them every day, often without realizing it. This book looks back at the beginnings of the art of weaving and traces the development of weaving equipment and techniques. It presents the most important materials and equipment and gives a step-by-step introduction to hand weaving, from fabric planning and preparatory work on the loom to the correct workflow. The chapter on attachment theory gives a clear overview of the most important attachments. The last part offers the opportunity to rework woven pieces. The experienced weaver Erika Arndt provides insight into an old and always up-to-date craft and lets you look over her shoulder: with many tips and tricks she shows that even beginners can succeed in hand weaving.
