This book describes the development of the loom from a crude wooden frame to a sophisticated electronic weaving machine. It introduces common textile terms and techniques and there is a description of primitive looms, such as Greek Tapestry and Navaho blanket weaving. Medieval craft guilds, the domestic system and Yeoman Weavers are dealt with, while handloom weaving is contrasted with the powerloom and the mill system. The authors examine the decorative fabrics such as brocades produced on early Chinese drawlooms and the introduction of Jacquard and dobby weaving in the nineteenth century. The reaction against industrialisation and William Morriss inauguration of the Arts and Crafts movement are discussed in relation to the craft revival of the twentieth century. This book continues the history of looms and weaving beyond the invention of the Northrop automatic to include special woven effects and twentiethcentury technological development, including todays computerbased weaving machines.Anna Benson and Neil Warburton are weavers and textile historians, with an extensive collection of antique hand and power looms.

The Shire Library on Looms and Weaving is a gem! I found it packed with insights on different weaving techniques that I can't wait to try. It’s well-illustrated, making it easy for both beginners and seasoned weavers. Definitely a must-have for any craft enthusiast!

Perfect Gift for My Grandma
Got this book for my grandma who loves weaving. She was thrilled to receive it and has already started trying out some of the techniques! The layout is thoughtful and encourages creativity, which is just what I wanted for her.

Not What I Expected
I was really looking forward to this book, but it felt more like an overview rather than a deep dive into weaving. A few pages were also a bit worn out, which was disappointing. Might work for absolute beginners, but I wanted something more advanced.

Nice Book but Lacks Depth
I picked up the Looms and Weaving book expecting more detailed projects. While it has a lot of good info, some chapters seemed a bit rushed and could use more practical examples. Still, it’s a decent read for inspiration and basic techniques.
