An essential guide to the techniques and traditional craft of hand weaving.
This practical and inspirational book is perfect for beginners who want to learn the techniques of the traditional craft of hand weaving. Step-by-step instructions show you how to weave on a frame loom, including changing yarns, mastering curves and using interlocking to create intricate patterns. There is also advice on spinning, dyeing yarns, designing your work, incorporating found objects, and constructing your own simple looms.
Written by an experienced weaving teacher, this book contains all you need to know to get started on weaving beautiful objects, and includes projects to make your own 'weavelets', purses and wall tapestries.
Lynn Gray Ross learnt to knit as a child and studied weaving in Stockholm. She was a textile artist on the Isle of Arran for the past several decades, funding and managing craft-based community projects on the island. In addition to teaching adults in the UK, US and Europe, she also developed award-winning projects with local schools. Her work is exhibited on Arran and in textile exhibitions worldwide.
