What is weaving?
Weaving makes cloth and other surfaces by interlacing threads in a planned structure.
Origins, forms and everyday life
Loom, warp, weft, fiber and dye affect the result. Handwoven patterns reflect skill, materials and use, not only decoration. Machine production and traditional practice differ in technology and labor.
Meaning, change and safeguarding
Preservation requires attention to fibers, light, humidity and storage. Living practice also depends on apprenticeship, fair income and access to materials.
