The Weaver’s Craft – Simpson & Weir

R250.00

“The Weaver’s Craft, originally written in 1932, was never intended to be a mere text book on instructions but rather to outline the history of the craft form its earliest stages on primitive looms to the present form on the modern Table and Foot looms. Pattern drafts are given merely as suggestion in the hope that weavers would adapt, improve and originate their own drafts and so make themselves familiar with the working of their looms.”

Price: R250.00

Edition: Seventh edition

Published: 1952

Publishers: The Dryad Press

Condition: Cloth hardcover in with lettering on the cover and spine in very good condition, with minor shelf wear to the corners of the cover and top and bottom of the spine. Foxing to the end-papers, but otherwise internally in good condition – very clean and tightly bound. Dust jacket in poor/fair condition with significant scuff marks and small tears around the edges.
