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.

An article from the Minnesota Weaver's series on the Science Museum's collection of ancient Peruvian textiles, focused on resist-dyeing. It introduces ikat, batik and plangi, then describes twelve plangi (tie-dyed) cotton cloths, probably from Chancay, in the museum's collection, including their plain-weave structure, materials, probable tie-dye process and designs. It also explains scaffold weaving, in which the weft becomes the warp so that cloths can be tie-dyed, with line drawings and two photographs.

An article in the Telas de los Muertos series on supplementary weft patterning in ancient Peruvian textiles from the Science Museum of Minnesota collection. It explains how supplementary wefts differ from embroidery and describes the main structures with diagrams: brick alignments with short and long floats, paired floats, rib, free weft float patterning, and columns (Dukagang). It also covers the materials (cotton ground, cameloid wool supplementary wefts), thread counts, and design motifs, with photographs of five museum fragments.

Part of the Minnesota Weaver series "Telas de los Muertos," this article surveys warp patterning in ancient Peruvian textiles, using examples from the Science Museum of Minnesota's collection. It covers supplementary warp weaves (inserts, 1:1 and 1:2 ratios), plain-weave-derived float weaves, complementary warp/weft weaves including two-color and multicolor pebble weave, turned weave, and warp/weft substitution. Entries give sett, thread counts, fibers, spin direction and approximate dates, with structure diagrams, drafts, photographs and a reference list (Rowe, Emery, Cason and Cahlander, Atwater).

First article in a series on ancient Peruvian textiles drawn from the Science Museum of Minnesota's collection of about 150 mostly fragmentary specimens. It surveys Peruvian prehistory and chronology, the development of cotton and camelid fibers, spinning, dyeing, the backstrap loom, textile specialization, and burial practices. It then describes knotted weft wrapping, an openwork technique especially associated with Chancay on the Central Coast, covering its structure, materials, and patterning variations (embroidery, tapestry, scaffold weaving), with museum examples and a note on how a weaver can reproduce it.
