Product Description
From Library Journal
Since 1979, Handwoven magazine has been a major source of instruction and inspiration for handweavers worldwide. This current volume is a concise manual of handweaving tips and techniques culled from 20 years of back issues of Handwoven and organized for quick retrieval. Here, weavers and aspiring weavers will find information on looms, yarn, methods of warping, drafting, troubleshooting, planning, and fabric finishing. Also included is information on the popular "burn test" for fibers and an excellent section on design basics. This volume, as well as the earlier Knitter's Companion (Interweave, 1996), should be in any basic public library fiber crafts collection.

Nice reference,
By "probooks4u" (Shelley, Idaho) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Weaver's Companion (Spiral-bound)
I'm a beginning weaver. This book has all the loom parts and the information a beginner needs. It also has some information that more advanced weavers may appreciate (but I don't yet understand).

Learning to Weave & Weaver's Companion,
By Ray R. Boyce - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Weaver's Companion (Spiral-bound)
Both of these books are excellent references for weaving! The Learning book by Deborah Chandler covers everything from your decision to become a weaver of fabrics to becoming a professional who does custom fabric designs; all in a simple easy-to-understand classroom language, with beautiful illustrations. My weaving instructor reccommended this book for me and I'm certainly glad she did!The small Weaver's companion's a compilation of creative efforts from the editors of a popular weaving magazine. It is a truly thoughtful,up-to-date spiral bound book which is small enough to tuck into your purse and carry anywhere. These authors have well-earned reputations. Order these two books; and discover why! 17 of 17 people found the following review helpful
