The World of Beduin Weaving: Table of Contents

I welcome you to share some of the adventures and discoveries I experienced in Saudi Arabia in my quest for information about the declining crafts of weaving, spinning and dyeing. I made long and short trips with my teacher-husband, or with friends, and sometimes alone as a guest. I traveled in all parts of this fascinating country in my desire to learn about and preserve the information for future generations. I hope you find Beduin weaving and those who make it as fascinating as I did.
