Customer Reviews

A tad dated but still functional.

This book makes a good addition to anyone's weaving library. You can use this as a first book or extend your repertoire. All the pictures, drafts, and diagrams are in black and white they still work but would have been better with the added dimension of color. 0.K. there is a small color section.) Fort the brave there is a section on clothing. I however prefer flat square projects.
