波多马克高地的山织布工团体及纤维技艺常规
地方性遗产
看看您身上穿的衣服，每一件衣服都是由某种编织法织成；您知道机器发明之前，织物是由手编织而成的吗？
织布就是两捆纱线互相交织而成的，编织工也可利用一种叫做手摇纺织机的器械进行编织工作。在西维吉尼亚州的波多马克高地上，山织布工团体仍旧以常规的手工编织维生。奥古斯塔常规中心(Augusta
Heritage Center)的指导员负责协助团体内的成员，而这个团体则是由艾尔肯斯(Elkins)的大卫斯与艾尔肯斯学院(Davis
and Elkins College)赞助。
初级及中级的织布工学习如何在织布机上穿线、缠纱(缠绕长纱线)及不同的织布法，而高级织布工则负责研究更精细的编织式样及设计。另外这个团体的职责也涵盖了记录织布的历史及研究纤维及纱线。世上的织物千千万万种，如：缎、斜纹布、花布及棱纹布，因此要学的东西还很多很多。只要想想您全身上下的衣服及各种不同材质的织物，然后再想像您要学习每种织物的织法，您就可以了解编织要学的事还真多呢！
时至今日，仍有许多人对手工编织的艺术充满兴趣，手织织物仍极受重视，而且常被视为一种艺术作品。
Look at the clothes you are wearing. Everything is made of some kind of woven fabric. Did you know that before the days of machines, fabric was woven by hand?
Weaving is the interlacing of two strands of yarn so that they cross each other. Weaving can also be done on a device called a handloom. In the Potomac Highlands of West Virginia, the Mountain Weavers Guild keeps the tradition of hand weaving alive. Members of the guild are assisted by instructors at the Augusta Heritage Center and sponsored by Davis and Elkins College in Elkins, West Virginia.
Beginning and intermediate weavers learn how to thread a loom, wind a warp (lengthwise yarn), and weave on different types of looms. Advanced weavers explore more detailed weaves and designs. The history of weaving and the study of fibers and threads are also covered. There are so many different kinds of weaves, including satin, twill, jacquard, and ribbed, that there is plenty to learn. If you think about all the clothes you wear and all the different fabrics, just imagine learning how to weave each of them!
Today there are still people interested in the art of hand weaving -- hand woven fabric is highly valued and often considered an art form.
