Weaving

The craft of weaving is also known as "handweaving", to distinguish it from mass-production machine weaving which makes most of the fabric today. It is creating fabric from fiber, by interlacing warp and weft threads. This category and its subcategories cover informational and educational sites about weaving and weavers, equipment, techniques, festivals and events.
