Text in Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish

Weaving, the art of threading yarns into cloth, is one of the oldest ways of creating and decorating fabrics. Woven fabrics range from plain cloth in one colour to highly decorated textiles, such as rugs and tapestries, often with an emphasis on imagery from the natural world. Weaving Patterns contains examples of elaborate weaving decorations, giving an overview of the patterns, borders and elements used in this technique.
