Weaving Shaker rugs : traditional techniques to create beautiful reproduction rugs and tapes / Mary Elva Congleton Erf. by Erf, Mary Elva Congleton. Schiffer Publishing, [2015] Call #: 746.72 E67w Subjects Decorative arts, Shaker.   Rugs, Braided.   Rugs.   Weaving.   Weaving -- United States -- History -- 19th century.   Shakers -- History. ISBN:  9780764349072 (hc., hidden-spiral binding) 0764349074 (hc., hidden-spiral binding) Description:  143 pages : color illustrations ; 29 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 139-140) and index. Summary:  "Learn how to make colorful, gorgeously patterned rugs using the 200-year-old techniques of the Shakers. The author researched and analyzed textiles at five historic Shaker village sites before developing a method to create new versions of these classics. You'll learn how ten original rugs were woven and then get detailed instructions on how to make ten reproduction rugs, with full explanations of the dyeing, the warp material, the weft materials, and how to weave, as well as instructions for weaving Shaker tapes. Learn about the history of the Shakers (The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing) in America and the impact of their craftsmanship on our arts tradition. Like all items used in daily Shaker life, these rugs have three outstanding characteristics: they are unusual in their design, they are perfect for the purpose they are meant to serve, and they are beautiful in quality."--Provided by publisher.
