WEAVING WITH SMALL APPLIANCES. BOOK II- TABLET WEAVING. The art of tablet weaving is pre-historic, and has been practised generally all over the world throughout history. Many kinds of beautiful braids and narrow webs are still woven by this simple method in remote places where the primitive traditional arts and crafts still survive. The authors interest in this subject was further stimulated by seeing a tapestry in the V&A Museum in 1921 of which the central figure, the Virgin Mary, is depicted weaving an elaborate lace on a tablet loom. After much studing of the technique and the capacity of the little appliance the author presents the outcome of the experiments clearly in this books pages. This book was originally published in 1923. Many of the earliest books on weaving, textiles and needlework, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern edit

WEAVING WITH SMALL APPLIANCES. BOOK III- The Table Loom. Originally published in 1925. The appliances for weaving, and the instructions for using them, which are described in this book are specially designed for and adapted to the use of students. The table-loom has been carefully planned by the author so as to be adapted not only for weaving plain fabrics for domestic use, but to furnish the student of ornamental weaving with a loom on which a great range of designs can be worked out with the least amount of tedious alteration of the mounting and mechanism. A description of the essential parts of the loom, the method of fitting it up, the appliances for preparing the warps as well as entering them in the loom and setting to work, as well as typical designs and specifications are all contained in the chapters of this book.
