Bolivian Tubular Edging & Andean Cross-Warp Techniques

$ 9.50

Crossed Warp edgings, or ribetes, traditional decorative finishes for Andean textiles, are fun to make using the finger-manipulated techniques described in this monograph. Use them for bands and cords, or as trims that you can apply as you weave! Instructions for 12 varieties of bands in Part One include diagrams, line drawings and photos. The diagrams make some complicated moves manageable. Two exotic band constructions from pre-Columbian textiles are featured in Part Two for those who like to experiment.
