Two pages from George Rawlinson's History of Ancient Egypt (pp. 228-229) on Egyptian weaving. They cover Herodotus's claim that only men wove, evidence from monuments that both sexes spun and wove, the simple Egyptian loom, and the fine linen produced, including dyed edges, inwrought patterns, printed designs and gold threads. The passage ends with an Egyptian poem on the weaver's hard working conditions.
