A Manual of Finger Weaving

Fingerweaving is becoming a lost art. This great 'how-to' book contains comprehensive instructions and wonderful color photos that show all there is to know about this craft. Includes traditional Indian patterns, weaving techniques and materials, beginner-to-advanced weaving projects, historical photos and more.

two types of Indian fingerweaving are introduced: warpface weaving and interface weaving. Both are used to make articles of clothing such as sashes, headwraps, garters and belts. The emphasis is placed on the use of finger woven items in Indian dance regalia. Other types of weaving, especially that used for woven bags, is not a part of this book.
