Description
The timeless craft of weaving is experiencing a resurgence of interest--and this colorful guide, featuring 30 fabric designs, shows just how easy it is to learn and how enjoyable it can be to do. Follow a thorough tutorial in the basics, complete with hand-drawn illustrations that lay out how to work with a table loom. Then try a variety of weaving styles, from traditional to playful, from subtle variations in color to bold experiments with form. Work with traditional fibers or play with unusual materials such as recycled fabrics, feathers, foil, and even plastic bags. A gallery showcases how 12 weaves can be transformed into functional objects, including throws, cushions, shawls, and scarves.--From publisher description.

Not the beginners hand loom guide I was really looking for, but inspirational colour combinations.

It had some pretty fabrics, but didn't really teach me anything.

Fairly short book, the first 27 pages are devoted to basic weaving techniques on an Ashford rigid heddle loom. The rest of the book is given over to full-color samples of some fabrics which can be woven on a rigid heddle loom.
The examples are pretty but the book has mostly inspirational use.
