Abstract

Research of the last decade has demonstrated how important is to understand loom weights and spindle whorls from a functional point of view. The spread of research on textile tools in Italy is linked to the development of studies conducted at the Centre for Textile Research (CTR) of Copenhagen. Going through several case studies, the paper will show how the methodologies developed at the CTR have been applied in selected contexts, the level of knowledge reached, and their impact in the comprehension of textile production process.
