Synopsis

Learn weaving basics or hone your skills with this invaluable guidebook

Originally published in 1984 (under the name Learning to Weave with Debbie Redding), Learning to Weave is now on the verge of its 40th Anniversary in print.  This unparalleled study guide teaches readers to weave on four shaft looms, whether they are learning from scratch or honing their skills. Written with a mentoring voice, each lesson includes friendly, straightforward advice and is accompanied by illustrations and photographs. Budding floor and table loom weavers need only to approach this subject with a sense of adventure and willingness to learn such basics as step-by-step warping, basic weaving techniques, project planning, reading and designing drafts, the basics of all the most common weave structures, and many more handy hints. Beginners will find this guidebook an invaluable teacher, while more seasoned weavers will find food for thought in the chapters on weave structures and drafting.
