Weaving Made Easy

The rigid-heddle loom is widely recognized as the gateway loom to weaving. It suits the modern lifestyle as it is easy to set up, portable, affordable, and highly versatile. It is the perfect loom for those who are downsizing, urban dwellers, those who have limited space for their yarncraft, and handspinners.

When you are a beginner, you worry about everything. This book will help you worry less and weave more! Throughout these pages, you are given all the benefit of Liz Gipson’s hundreds of hours of working with beginning weavers and told exactly what you need to know to set up the loom and weave well.

In this newly revised edition, Gipson added detailed step-by-step direct warping instructions that allow you to set up the loom in twenty minutes or less! Also new in the book are tips on taking the fabric off the loom, and two new projects that use much asked about techniques—how to weave fine fabrics and how to weave solid stripes with drape. There are more headers to help you easily find what you are looking for including what yarns you can use (the answer is most), how to fix mistakes, basic terminology, and project planning.

Each of the 17 projects in this book is designed to teach you something new about the possibilities of weaving in simple structures that will set you up to master all the amazing possibilities of this loom.
