Synopsis

Kirsten Glasbrook explains tapestry weaving using wool yarn, fine linen and cotton, working on simple rectangular frames with notches as well as purpose-built looms for larger projects. The techniques are introduced in clear stages, from selecting colours and winding warps to building images and adding finishing touches such as tassels and beads.

Along the way, the book covers a wide range of effects, including horizontal and diagonal lines, curves, motifs, shading, outlines and borders. A gallery of completed tapestries offers visual inspiration, and the re-issued best-selling title is designed to support both beginners and more experienced weavers.
