hand weaving
Loom work manually
Hand weaving is the craft of interlacing threads on a loom operated manually rather than by machine.
The weaver controls the warp and weft directly, allowing for greater variation and artistic expression than industrial production.
Hand-woven textiles—rugs, tapestries, cloth—are valued for their craftsmanship and irregularities that mark human touch: She learned hand weaving from her grandmother in Guatemala.
