Présentation de l'éditeur
Foot-P ower Loom Weaving CHAPTER IT heL oom, Warping and Threading Loom Weaving Notwithstanding the introduction of the power loom and all its wonderful possibilities, the hand loom still survives and seems likely to continue in use since numerous schools and handicraft societies as well as many independent art workers are becoming interested. This gives hope that at some time in the near future the domestic occupations of weaving and spinning in both flax and wool will again find a place, not only in the home but also in the studio and in the industrial school. The appreciation of handwork lias, during the past decade, increased in the estimation of the public. In various European countries, as well as in I ndia, China and Japan, hand loom weaving still continues. In Norway andS weden a very successful line of home industry is carried on to great advantage to many women who find it, necessary to aid in the family support. This may also be said of the women in theO rkney andS hetland I slands. Of late much has teen written of the beautiful handweaving done by the women in the mountains of Kentucky and Tennessee. So attractive is this work that little difficulty is experienced in disposing of the articles woven. Since the introduction of machine spinning and weaving, no home industry which approaches them in usefulness or interest has taken their place. It is true that there are many lines of weaving now produced by the machine, too intricate to be attempted on the hand loom, but the weaving of linen, cotton, woolen and the coarser silk threads into materials of strength and beauty for home use, can quite well be carried on in the studio and even by the home-maker who has other household occupations.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Few lines of occupation furnish more excellent opportunity for color combination and design than does the craft of weaving. Girls taking the various household-arts courses will find weaving a great aid in understanding the structure of a piece of cloth. The work is so full of possibilities and the results obtained have such a wonderful effect on the character of the worker that these alone afford ample reasons why weaving should be carried on in both school and community. The descriptions given are for the amateur weaver who will find them more easily understood than those given in the more technical books on the subject. It is hoped that those interested will find help through the suggestions offered in this manual. EDWARD F. WORST.
