Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Near Fine. 5th Printing. Hardcover. Book Condition: Near Fine. Jacket Condition: Near Fine. University of Toronto Press, Toronto, ON, Canada 1986. 5th Printing. 406 pages. Nice Firm copy ! Previous owner name. The dust jacket has been securely sealed by a 1 piece mylar (?) film tape, which covers the entire dust jacket. Without this film tape, the jacket would have many more tears and rubbings. Size: Folio 12 - 15'' tall. Among the domestic arts of a pioneer society, handweaving is one of the most elegant but - with the impact of industrialized manufacture of cloth - one of the first to disappear. In the early years of the nineteenth century, the art was flourishing across eastern Canada; by the end of the same century many of its techniques, except in isolated areas, were little more than a memory. This is the first comprehensive study of traditional handweaving as it was practised in Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic Provinces up to 1900. As such, it will interest all lovers of Canadiana and folk art in general, as well as the growing number of handweavers in Canada and the United States who have revived the craft and resurrected many of the lovely old patterns - and who will find in its pages a basic pattern reference book. 'Keep me warm one night' is the culmination of twenty- five years of study, during which this subject has been the major research project of the Textile Department of the Royal Ontario Museum.
