The process of creating cloth or fabric using a loom operated by hand rather than by machine.
Compound of 'hand' and 'weaving' (present participle of weave). This traditional craft method has been practiced for thousands of years before industrial looms were invented.
Handweaving is experiencing a huge comeback as people rediscover the meditative, rhythmic nature of the craft—plus, handwoven fabric is beautiful because tiny variations in tension create subtle patterns that machines can't perfectly replicate.
