This edition concerns material deposited in the Manuscript Archive of the Folklore Center by Aliki Lambrou, with the subject "The loom in Skyros" in 2008 (manuscript number 4847). It is a collection and recording of material on weaving in Skyros.

The main focus of the book is the written notes of her mother on weaving specific designs. These are supplemented by the memories and recordings of the Skyrian weavers (relatives and acquaintances as a whole) on the loom and the woven fabrics, information from the exploration of local archives, and comparative elements with other regions, bibliographic references on weaving-related topics, and rich photographic documentation material. The volume is enriched with information on types of threads, their processing and dyeing, and is accompanied by a concise but useful local weaving glossary.

The edition, with reference to Skyros, aims to contribute to the composition of a more comprehensive image of the loom and the art of weaving in a broader sense. It essentially concerns the more complete recording and knowledge of local memory and tradition and contributes, to the extent appropriate, to the formation of the "archive" of folklore.
