Pre-Columbian double cloth is one of the world's great textile traditions. This book takes a comprehensive look at the varieties of double cloth preserved in museums and private collections. Included are fabric analyses, detailed weaving instructions, appendices with endless kinds of knots and several pattern diagrams and grid sheets, and detailed chapters on different kinds of weaves, warps, related weaves, and more. A must for collectors and weavers alike. NOTE: The ISBN in the book is for the paperback copy. This specific volume likely was personally rebound by the owner.
