A photographic feature from National Geographic showing weavers and spinners in eight parts of the world, each plate with a short caption. Subjects include a Hardanger girl at a spinning wheel in Norway, a woman spinning with distaff and spindle in northern Portugal, a Navajo woman at an upright loom, outdoor weaving in Mexico, homespun linen weaving in Serbia, mat weaving on Santa Cruz in the South Pacific, reed floor-covering manufacture in Egypt, and Korean women spinning and weaving. The captions give brief notes on dress, materials, and loom types, but there are no technical weaving details or drafts.
