A short article from the Master Weaver bulletin that sketches an idealized development of handweaving technology. It begins with the origins of weaving and its independent, uneven spread, and considers whether sewing, basketry, mat plaiting or spinning came first. It then traces the weaving apparatus from warp stretched between two points, lease rods, heddle sticks, the raddle and reed, and the shuttle, through frame looms and roller looms to treadle looms with more shafts. The article ends by promising a follow-up instalment.
