WEAVING WITH SMALL APPLIANCES. BOOK II- TABLET WEAVING. The art of
tablet weaving is pre-historic, and has been practised generally
all over the world throughout history. Many kinds of beautiful
braids and narrow webs are still woven by this simple method in
remote places where the primitive traditional arts and crafts still
survive. The authors interest in this subject was further
stimulated by seeing a tapestry in the V&A Museum in 1921 of
which the central figure, the Virgin Mary, is depicted weaving an
elaborate lace on a tablet loom. After much studing of the
technique and the capacity of the little appliance the author
presents the outcome of the experiments clearly in this books
pages. This book was originally published in 1923. Many of the
earliest books on weaving, textiles and needlework, particularly
those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce
and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works
in affordable, high quality, modern edit
