Talk:Weaving
From Academic Kids
This business of American Colonials preferring plain weave is simply not true.
Many different weave structures were woven in colonial America, from plain weave to a variety of twills, dimities, huck, diaper and huckaback as well as the more familiar overshot patterns. When professional weavers began to conduct business the complexity of locally produced fabrics expanded. But many home weavers throughout early American history wove more complex structures than plain weave.
This text requires some additions: weaving in other countries, more on the history of weaving (weaving and the Industrial Revolution etc), types of loom and weaving (backstrap, frame, rugs, carpets etc). I will add something.

Attention: Intro rewrite
There's been a couple of edits by Special:Contributions/User:194.222.59.249. The edits seem to be made in good faith but appear somewhat unencyclopedic, needing a major rewrite. Can some one watching this page look into that. -- Sundar 09:58, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)
Can someone explain what is "wire work" or make the right redirect? It seems to be a form of beadwork. Thanks. --Eleassar777 09:13, 14 May 2005 (UTC) P.S.: Please also include the disambiguation: Wire-work is also a hyper-active gun fighting that appears in the movies of the directors such as John Woo and Ringo Lam.
