In modern times there is instead an overabundance of cloth filling up thrift stores and being discarded. Weavers can use this source of rags to make useful and surprising new cloth. Depending on the fabric used results can be rugged and utilitarian (like cotton rugs) or fashionable and delicate (like silk scarves). The book begins with an overview of the history and context of sakiori in Japan followed by methods and tips .
