Weaver’s Idea Book

The Weaver’s Idea Book – Creative Cloth on a Rigid Heddle Loom by Jane Patrick

Celebrating the immense potential for creative possibilities with the simplest of tools, The Weaver’s Idea Book opens new avenues for exploration on both rigid heddle and multi-shaft looms.  Covering a wide variety of techniques and tools, this book is perfect for weavers at all levels to achieve their textile dreams and make exquisite cloth.  

Learn the tricks of the trade, including finger techniques such a leno and soumak to pick-up-stick patterns and two-heddle weaving.  The book is arranged by structure or type of weave, from variations on plain weave to double weave.  Each chapter contains patterns along with illustrative swatches and photographs.

Weaving drafts for multi-shaft looms are included — expanding the scope of this book beyond the rigid heddle loom.
