Great book for the beginner or experienced weaver June 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Having never woven in my life, I bought a 4-shaft table loom and with this book, in two days successfully warped my loom and wove a 5' sampler and a nice placemat. Although I had a little trouble initially understanding all the new-to-me weaving terminology, I was able to follow the book step by step with wonderful results. By the time I got to the end, I was very comfortable using my loom, understood the concepts taught in weaving the sampler, and feel ready to try more techniques. Great book!
You can start weaving today February 25, 2008
This book is the most concise, understandable learn-to-weave book we have found. The author shares her obviously extensive knowledge of weaving in a way that is clear and not the least bit intimidating. The quantity and quality of photo illustrations is excellent. The text and photos make sense together and are extremely helpful. It is obvious that the author not only knows weaving, but has extensive, successful experience at teaching people to weave.
She starts you weaving from the start, and explains the design elements later, after you understand the physical process of weaving.
If you want to learn the basics of weaving, this is the book to own.

This book is a excellent teaching tool for beginner weavers and a solid resource for experienced weavers. I highly recommend it (and so does the expert weaver who is teaching me).

Deborah Chandler is a great teacher and it shows in her writing of this book. If I was to buy only 1 book on beginning handweaving with a floor loom THIS book would be the one!
