This book presents a comprehensive history of handlooms and gives clear descriptions of how they work. Chapters are organized according to the chronological evolution of weaving equipment, from early horizontal ground looms and warp-weighted looms to backstrap and other primitive looms to the Chinese drawloom, the European drawloom, the Jacquard loom, and finally, to "modern" looms for handweavers, such as jack and countermarch looms.
