Techniques of Guatemalan Weaving.

People who dive into mainstream weaving and even people who are familiar with Navajo and other techniques often overlook the Guatemalan looms, symbolism, colors, and patterns. This book is by Lena Bjerregaard, who studied the mysteries of Guatemalan weaving. We learn how to build and or assemble the Backstrap loom (because they use a strap around their back to hold tension), still used today by the Maya Indians.
