Overview

The history of the world can be read in textiles: the rise of civilizations & the fall of empires are woven into them, along with the great stories of conquest, religion, & trade. This comprehensive guide devotes eight sections to materials & techniques, translating the complex universe of textiles into over 100 succinct double-page spreads, each with a thorough summary of characteristics & geographical distributions. The sections progress from simple techniques like netting, crocheting, & knitting to more complex & sophisticated techniques like lace making. Both useful & beautiful, World Textiles includes over five hundred illustrations & is the most complete guide of its kind.
