Summary: From the Jacket - "Among the domestic arts of a pioneer society, hand-weaving 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, where little more than a memory. This is the first comprehensive study of traditional handweaving as it was practiced in Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic Provinces up to 1900. "
