5.0 out of 5 stars A 'must have' weaving learning tool!, Oct 1 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Learning to Weave (Hardcover)

Deborah Chandler's book is the next best thing to attending an excellent
weaving class in person. Then after you learn to weave, it is a reference book
that can aid you for years to come. Even after weaving for more than
10 years, I often turn to this book. It has plain detailed instruction
with wonderful illustrations. Photos and drawings as well as the fabulous
explanations guide you right along.
Whether you are just learning to weave or want to add to your weaving library,
I strongly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book!, May 15 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Learning to Weave (Hardcover)

As a new weaver, I found this book to be an incredible storehouse of good, reliable information. I read it cover to cover before I ever even laid eyes on my loom. Armed with that book, I felt completely prepared to start my first project the evening my loom arrived.

This review is from: Learning to Weave (Hardcover)

Forget all the other books on weaving. This is the one. Anyone who has problems warping their loom, designing patterns, learning new patterns will wear the pages of this book thin with reading and rereading and rereading and more rereading. There is barely a day that goes by that I do not in some way refer back to this fantastic book! All we ask is that the writer give us more! Bravo!

4.0 out of 5 stars Illustrations
The book is very informative although I would have liked more detail regarding warping from back to front. What I found disappointing were the illustrations.... Read more

Any one new to weaving should add this title to their library. I had borrowed it from the public library first and after reading it once knew that I need to have a copy of my own.
