Customer Reviews

Essential for your Inkle Weaving Education

It's an excellent guide from the very beginning to complex braids. The pattern charts are clear, instructions are well written (although krokbragd could use more detailed clarification). I love this book! I recommend it to all beginning band weavers and even more experienced weavers desiring pattern ideas.
