Weaving Technique of Early Peruvian Textiles
Viola W. Quigley · Weaver, October 1937
Article · 6 pages · weaving drafts
Viola W. Quigley describes the weaving techniques found in a group of ancient Peruvian textiles from the west coast of Peru, mostly from the Field Museum collection. She covers a lace-weave shirt, interlocking and slit tapestry, warp-pattern bags and ties, double-woven ties, and ponchos woven with the pattern running lengthwise. The article gives thread counts, construction details, and figures. It ends with definitions of plain weave, warp pattern, weft pattern, tapestry, slit tapestry, and interlocking tapestry.
