TT848.P534Description
This book of patterns brings over 130 designs to novice and advanced handweavers, particularly those who wish to create their own weaves but are limited by time and opportunity. Full-page illustrations and actual-size photographs of the weaves accompany the patterns. Most of the weaves are for the four-harness looms; there are also two-, six- and eight harness weaves, and it is explained how many of four-harness weaves can be woven on two-harness loom. Iona Plath, professional handweaver, textile designer and teacher of handweaving, gives clear, precise instruction for each pattern, including yarn requirements. She demonstrates making the warp, warping the loom, threading, tie-up and treadling for floor looms with key for table looms. A chapter on 'How to Weave from the Patterns' gives all necessary instruction for working the patterns.Collection
