description: the weaving book by helene bress 1981 SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR! "The Weaving Book explores the great diversity of techniques which can be used on five of the basic Plain Weave, Twill, Overshot, Monk's Belt, and Huck. For those who want to use the book by rote, they'll have an incredibly rich pattern book. For those who want to design their own, they'll find an even richer harvest, since Helene so clearly explains what makes the particular weave tick and presents many conventional treadlings, experimental treadlings, and many variations - both usual and unusual.
