Thursday All Day

Basic Tapestry techniques have remained the same for centuries. Various cultures may have nuanced certain methods, but on the whole, these tried-and-true techniques have not changed. Tapestry weaving is not difficult, but because it is considered "slow cloth," it requires a great deal of patience.
