Customer Reviews

Interweave Press does it again.

The Handweaver’s Pattern Directory by Anne Dixon is what it claims to be. Over 600 weaves for four-shaft Looms. However, it does not skimp on explaining the tools and methods used in the process. The drafts and examples are in color, which makes them easier to follow. The ring binder is an added plus. Looking for more bound this way.
