The Weaving Handbook

The Art and the Craft: Theories, Materials, Techniques, and Projects,
by Åsa Pärson & Amica Sundström, Sweden.
Designer and weaving expert Åsa Pärson and professional textile curator Amica Sundström have come together to create a modern reference for weavers worldwide. When Åsa had the opportunity to rent a small cottage in Sweden, she decided to create a range of textiles to fill it. It was the beginning of gaining more experience with weaving. Now she creates inspiration for all of us as she makes drapes, rugs, a sofa cover, shawls, pillow covers, blankets, curtains, towels, dishrags, napkins, bath towel, pillowcase, and sheet. Chapters include: looms and tools, materials, setting up a weaving, fixing problems, weaving theory, patttern drafts, techniques for art weaves, edgings, finishings, & fabric care. While explaining how to combine different fibers and techniques, projects were created with function, usability and durability in mind. For all skill levels.
