[MR] weaving question

[Merritt, Cheryl]

I got an e-mail from a SCAdian on the west coast, with an interesting
question that I can't answer:

 

I am looking to document stick weaving as seen on the history.uk.com 

> website listed below.  I learned it from ladies in a group called 

> C.R.O.F.T. (Celtic Reenactment for Fellowship and Trade) in Phoenix AZ


> and I am now in an SCA Shire in WA so far I have been told that some 

> believe this style of weaving to have been brought to Europe during 

> the Crusades but I am having trouble documenting it enough for the 

> SCA.  Do you have any information or know of a book I can get to lead 

> me in the right direction to document this?  We have no weavers in my
shire and I would love to be the first.

Does anyone have any insights?
