description: In this book, the author explains the advantages and disadvantages for different types of looms and the uses to which they are best suited. She discusses weaving on inkle looms, rigid heddle looms, and four and eight-shaft table and jack looms and, for each type, takes the weaver through all the steps from planning a project and warping the loom to the weaving process itself. There are useful chapters on yarns and finishing techniques, and on design and pattern drafting. The book concludes with detailed instructions for twenty different weaving projects which progress in difficulty to encompass a full range of skills and techniques.
