The Weaver's Companion (The Companion Series)
Since 1979, Handwoven magazine has been a major source of  instruction and inspiration for handweavers worldwide. This  current volume is a concise manual of handweaving tips and  techniques culled from 20 years of back issues of Handwoven and  organized for quick retrieval. Here, weavers and aspiring  weavers will find information on looms, yarn, methods of  warping, drafting, troubleshooting, planning, and fabric  finishing. Also included is information on the popular "burn  test" for fibers and an excellent section on design basics. This  volume, as well as the earlier Knitter's Companion (Interweave,  1996), should be in any basic public library fiber crafts  collection.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
