Synopsis

Beginning with the fundamentals, this guide introduces the parts of the loom, winding a warp, dressing the loom, and working with drafts. It then extends into reading and weaving from charts, alongside a detailed exploration of different weave types.

The book is structured in two halves: first, a clear grounding in essential methods; second, a focused look at a range of weave structures and how they can be used and adapted for making. Supported by illustrations, photographs and charts throughout, it is intended as an extensive reference for weavers at all skill levels.
