A 1921 article in Man by L. H. Dudley Buxton, based on fieldwork in Cyprus in 1913, describing traditional Cypriot textile production. It covers spinning, quill-winding and skein frames, the treatment of silk, and a detailed description of the village loom (batten, reed, four heddles, pulleys, treadles, temple, shuttle) with the additions for double-warp weaving. A plate of six photographs shows looms, quilt winding and spinning at Lapethos.
