A comprehensive handbook on hand-loom weaving in the Artistic Crafts Series, edited by W. R. Lethaby, by Luther Hooper. It moves from the basics of spinning, flax preparation, warping, beaming and loom construction through simple pattern weaving (tapestry, brocading, twills, satins, double cloth, shedding motions, damask and velvet) to complex draw-loom, shaft monture, brocatelle, tissue, compound monture and figured-velvet weaving. It includes many line drawings of equipment, ruled-paper designs and drafts, plates of historic textiles, and a glossary.
