A 1952 instructional handbook by S. M. Mead on taniko, the Maori technique of finger-twined weaving used for decorative borders on cloaks, kilts and belts. It gives step-by-step illustrated instructions for making a sampler: preparing warps and wefts, casting on, twisting the wefts to weave the design, and casting off, plus alternative casting-on and casting-off methods. It also provides graphed patterns with Maori names, instructions for making and lining a taniko belt with leather, and suggestions for other items such as headbands, purses and table mats.
