Excerpt from Shuttle-Craft Courses in Weaving Weaving is an art as old as man himself. The very first man of all must have had an instinct in his fingers that led him to interlace twigs and grasses for shelter and covering. Without this instinct he might never have been a man at all. So it is not surprising that almost everyone likes to weave! I believe that the only reason so few - comparatively - know the pleasure of weaving is the difficulty in getting information, instruction, equipment and supplies. Following the introduction of machinery, hand-weaving became among us almost a lost art. Now, however, it is being revived, and I confidently look forward to a day when a hand-loom will be as customary a piece of house hold furniture as it was in the days of our great-great-grand parents. Many of the textiles of that day have come down to us. We recognize in them a charm and beauty impossible in a machine made product. But we need not sigh over the good old days, there is nothing to keep us from producing today, in exactly the same manner, things just as beautiful.
