A French translation (2002, by Philippe Demoule) of Luther Hooper's 1919 beginner's handbook on hand-loom weaving. It covers building a simple four-shaft treadle loom from wood and metal, making heddles, warping, beaming, threading and sleying, tying up the harness, tools such as shuttles, and starting to weave, ending with common faults and how to correct them. It is heavily illustrated with dimensioned line drawings of loom parts, warping boards, and warp handling. The final 15 pages on weave structures were not translated.
