What to expect
with heart and hand,
we layer row on row.
Our loom sings tales of fabric,
friendship, families long ago.
As rhythmic as the swish of a loom, and as vibrant as a skein of brightly dyed wool, this lyrical book shares the history and practice of weaving through the centuries and around the world, as imagined by a young weaver learning her craft.
At once a celebration of a time-honored art and a meditation on the ways we are interconnected, Woven of the World gathers the threads of weaving—as a technical skill, as a cultural tradition, and as a metaphor for how our lives are knit together—into a radiantly intertwined whole.
