DESCRIPTION: 1972 Keep Me Warm One Night: Early Handweaving in Eastern Canada occupies an important place in the study of Canadian material culture. The book brings together years of fieldwork and close observation to explore the widespread household weaving practices that shaped daily life in Eastern Canada from early settlement through the nineteenth century. Rather than treating textiles as purely decorative objects, it presents them as essential tools of survival, domestic economy, and regional identity. Through carefully examined examples—ranging from blankets and coverlets to clothing and utilitarian fabrics—the work traces how local resources, inherited traditions, and practical needs influenced design and construction. Attention is given not only to finished textiles but also to the looms, techniques, and rhythms of labor that defined handweaving within rural communities. Grounded in lived experience, the study remains valued for its ability to connect craft, history, and everyday life, offering lasting insight into the role of handweaving in Canada’s early cultural landscape.
