Weaving, Spinning & Dyeing
across the World
By Ann Hecht

This is a reprint of a text previously published in 1989 (the British Museum Press),
emphasizing traditional methods of weaving, spinning and dyeing. The introduction
explains basic principles of these techniques. Each of the eight chapters following
the introduction focuses on a specific region of the world and its textile form:
Navaho Indian weaving, Arabian bedouin work, West African narrow-strip weaving,
Nepalese inlay, Indonesian textiles, Japanese kasuri resist dyeing, Guatemalan
decorative weavers, and Peruvian tapestries. For students, anthropologists, and
practicing weavers. The text contains 169 illustrations, including 60 in color.
