A mechanical view of weaving
Dorothy shared this video the other day saying
I love the way this film shows the relationship between machinery, the punch card programs, the oily hands of workers maintaining the machines, and the fine, beautiful white cloth. We see yarn on bobbins and being woven into cloth. We meet the people involved, face to face. There is so much in one short film.
I read her text after watching the film and have rarely wanted to comment on a post saying “What you said” quite so much. (and I did, just in a few more words)
So mechanical, so dirty, and such beautiful (and spotlessly clean!) woven lace.
