Weaving and Dyeing In Highland Ecuador By Ann P. Rowe, Laura M. Miller, Lynn Meisch




Although less ( The Weaving, Spinning, and Dyeing Book) well known than its much-admired counterparts (Spinning And Weaving At Home: The Essential Guide On Home Spinning And Weaving With Helpful Tips On Where To Begin, How to Make Your Own Cloth And Your ... Smart Ideas On Dyeing Fabric And Many More!) in Peru and Bolivia, highland Ecuadorian weaving is an Andean tradition that has relationships with these more southern areas. A world away from the industrialized textile manufacturing of Euro-American society, these handmade pieces reflect the history and artistry of an ancient culture.
This comprehensive study (MASTEX Thermal Spa Professional Conditioning Heat Cap Conditions & Treates Hair Dried Out & Damaged from Overbleaching, Overprocessing, Dyeing & Environmental Damage & Controls Dry Itchy Scalp (Model: C27L)), edited by Ann Pollard Rowe, is unrivaled in its detail and includes not only descriptions of the indigenous weaving and dyeing technology, but also an interpretation of its historical significance, as well as hundreds of photographs, drawings, and maps that inform the understanding of the process.
The principal focus is on backstrap-loom weaving (LE04T - Valentine - Twin size 4pcs Duvet Cover Set), a major pre-Hispanic technology. Ecuadorian backstrap looms, which differ in various ways from those found elsewhere in the Andes (Spinning, Dyeing & Weaving: Self-Sufficiency (The Self-Sufficiency Series)), have previously only been treated in general terms. Here, the basic operation of this style of loom is covered, as are a variety of patterning techniques including warp-resist (ikat) dyeing, weaving belts with twill, and supplementary- and complementary-warp patterning. Spanish colonial treadle-loom weaving is also covered. The weaving techniques are explained in detail, so the reader can replicate them if desired (The Art of the Loom: Weaving, Spinning, and Dyeing Across the World).
Textiles have been an important art (Early American Weaving and Dyeing (Dover Americana): The Domestic Manufacturer's Assistant and Family Directory in the Arts of Weaving and Dyeing) form among Andean peoples from remote prehistory up to the present. A greater understanding of their creation process can yield a more meaningful appreciation of the art itself.
