Customer Reviews

Kind of a combination of weaving and macramé.

This is a hybrid based on many ancient skills and adapted to today’s (1973) needs. There are a few intermediate diagrams and a lot of monochrome photos of finished products. The book seems to me more of an inspiration than a practical how-to.
