Sakiori is an approach to rag weaving used by Japanese peasants to
cope with the scarcity of new cloth for clothing and household
textiles. In modern times, there is instead an overabundance of
cloth filling up thrift stores and being discarded. Weavers can use
this source of "rags" to make useful and surprising new cloth.
Depending on the fabric used, results can be rugged and utilitarian
(like cotton rugs) or fashionable and delicate (like silk scarves).
The book begins with an overview of the history and context of
sakiori in Japan, followed by methods and tips for successful rag
weaving with a variety of materials and looms, including rigid
heddle looms as well as floor looms. Charts and worksheets make it
easy to find the information weavers need to get started, and 21
projects with instructions and drafts provide inspiration and
ideas.
