Damask is a reversible patterned weave often used for elegant table linens.
The patterns are created by exchanging warp and weft emphasis. Both techniques can be executed with a pick-up stick but are more easily performed with a drawloom. Excellent photographs of woven fabrics, drawlooms and warping techniques make this book the best on the subject. Text translated from Swedish to English by Susan Jones. A comprehensive look at pre-Columbian double cloth is complimented by well diagramed instructions for reproducing these weaves on a variety of looms.
