Synopsis

Designed to help rigid-heddle weavers build confidence and range, this book moves from the essentials of choosing a loom and getting started to inventive approaches that expand what a little loom can do. It introduces a variety of weave structures, including finger-manipulated laces, tapestry, and colour play using stripes, plaids, and multicolour yarns.

As skills develop, the focus shifts to more complex designs and projects, from pillows and curtains to bags, shawls, and jewellery. Techniques covered include warp-face patterning, weft-pile weaving, weaving with fine threads, woven shibori, shadow weave, and creating texture with different yarns, wire, and conductive thread, supported by fully illustrated step-by-step instruction. With 570 colour illustrations, it suits makers looking for detailed, technique-led guidance.
