Article from the Minnesota Weaver describing seven groups of Pre-Columbian Peruvian gauze (crossed warp) textiles in the Science Museum's collection. It explains simple and complex gauze structures, how plain gauze is woven with a pickup stick and string heddles, and how alternating gauze and supplementary thread patterning create motifs. Each textile is described with its size, yarns, thread counts, borders and condition, and the article ends with suggestions for handweavers and further reading.
