14 weavers are at the centre of the book ‘Alle Fäden in der Hand’. They work in bare cellars, in light-flooded studios, in converted stables, in their own homes, in the former museum or in the Heimatwerk. Their workspaces are located on the Emme or in Ticino, in the centre of Zurich, Geneva or Basel, in the Goms or in Val Müstair.
Three generations of weavers talk about their passion for weaving, highlights and stumbling blocks, everyday life and work, yarns and fabrics, attention to detail and great designs. Journalists Gerlind Martin, Karin Meier and Theodora Peter from Bern and Yvonn Scherrer from Basel listened to their stories and wrote them down.
