Essay by Lili Blumenau on the role of texture in handweaving and cloth design. She cites Peruvian leno, Coptic tapestry and medieval weavers, and argues that weavers should train their perception of texture through plain weave variations, yarn density and sleying, corded weaves and experiments with materials such as peas, matches and macaroni. She also stresses Bauhaus-style material education. The scan includes photographs of her studio and texture studies, plus pages of loom-buying advice and advertisements, and the end of an article on Greek spinners and weavers.
