**The classic book on the art and history of weaving—now expanded and in full color** Written by one of the twentieth century’s leading textile artists, this splendidly illustrated book is a luminous meditation on the art of weaving, its history, its tools and techniques, and its implications for modern design. First published in 1965, __On Weaving__ bridges the transition between handcraft and the machine-made, highlighting the essential importance of material awareness and the creative leaps that can occur when design problems are tackled by hand.

Now available for a new generation of readers, this expanded edition of __On Weaving__ updates the
