Dear Ginger,

        This past spring I went to the Textile Museum in Washington, D.C.
which had a nice, hands-on weaving exhibit showing different types of
weaving, different methods and looms used, showed what is meant by
all the different terms, etc. I cannot find a web site for them, but their
contact info is:
        Textile Museum
        2320 S St., NW
        Washington, DC 20009

        (202) 667-0441

        I hope this is of some use.
