Weaving

The craft of weaving is also known as "handweaving", to distinguish it from mass-production machine weaving which makes most of the fabric today. It is creating fabric from fiber, by interlacing warp and weft threads. This category and its subcategories cover informational and educational sites about weaving and weavers, equipment, techniques, festivals and events.

Tapestry

Tapestry is a specific textile construction: "a weft-faced plain weave with discontinuous weft patterning." Tapestry designs are formed by different colored (weft) yarns, which completely cover the foundation (warp) yarns. Other techniques, variations and materials are also combined by some artists to create contemporary tapestries. This category is for sites about handwoven tapestry, techniques, history and care, and about the artists who design and weave them.

Please do not list sites which primarily show items for sale.
