Book Details
First Sentence
"Hand weaving is one of the most productive and popular crafts in modern times. Individuals weave for many reasons--to create fabrics for their homes or personal attire, to sell in shops or use as gifts, as well as for the many accompanying pleasures of the craft itself, such as the fun of creating, the interest in weave structure, the history of fabrics, the exercise involved, and the spiritual satisfaction of completing something useful and beautiful."
