A comprehensive introduction to the tools, equipment, fibers, and yarns used with four-shaft looms, this reference features patterns for 600 different weaves, including twill, zigzag, diamond, herringbone, and block. Color photographs and large-scale drawings allow weavers to closely examine the details, and the compact size and lay-flat binding is convenient for keeping near the loom. A handbook that is essential for all four-shaft weavers, this manual includes weaving basics, specialized projects organized by degree of difficulty, finishing techniques, resources, and a glossary of terms.

will use this book for years November 28, 2008

I am a beginning weaving student and purchased this book for a class project in which I needed to weave 3 distinctly different scarves from one warp....a challenge. This book shows many possibilities....some over my beginner level ...but certainly enough to use as a beginner and then look forward to as I progress. Lots of other vital information as well in the front of the book and great explainations. Don't know how helpful it would be without prior weaving instruction...but I learn better by seeing someone do the actual process. Photos are great and book lies flat with a spiral binding...love that it doesn't flop all over the place....pages are heavy and glossy and will hold up over time. I will use this over and over as a reference.

Seeing the patterns in color is absolutely wonderful and so helpful. I have a popular book, which I love and use constantly, but with the black and white photos of the patterns you don't get the real 'picture'! This book is an invaluable addition to my reference library of weaving books.
Thanks,
Happy Weaver

A must have for all weavers using 4-shaft loom patterns. It has all the patterns in color which allows you to see the beauty in the different patterns. Easy pattern instructions. If you are buying only one book, THIS IS THE BOOK!! Great Price.

An excellent book, for all stages, for weavers using 4-shafts.
Clear diagrams with photographs of the actual weaving item.
A must-have book at one's elbow when weaving.

An excellent guide to weaving and 600 patterns. The first part of the book is dedicated to weaving terms and techniques, with illustrations. The bulk of the book is treadle and heddle diagrams and color photos of the patterns created. A beautiful, lush and textural book.
