Simply wonderful book! Great pictures as well as easy to follow line drawings and instructions make it easy to produce beautiful works of art. The author has included a wealth of information between the covers of this book. It is a wonderful addition to any book collection - whether you weave or not!

This is the best book on straw weaving I've found so far. It includes photos and drawings of every technique. I have had no trouble following any of the instructions. Each project contains a short piece of folklore that pertains to the piece. The pictures are so beautiful, it also makes a good coffee table book.

This is the perfect gift for anyone interested in craft work. It has excellent pictures and the step by step instructions are easy for beginners to follow. As well as projects for the advanced weaver.

Along with a fascinating history of wheat weaving in ancient times, this book offers clear instructions and excellent photographs for a variety of projects. It also gives an estimate for the skill and time required for each project. If you are a Wheat Weaver or an aspiring weaver, this book is well worth adding to your library.

Wheat weaving, or straw weaving, is a rather obscure art form, but this book revives it. The instructions are clear, and there is a good resource guide.
The only criticism I have is that there are not quite enough different easy projects to really give the novice enough practice to do the more complicated designs. But there is no reason why the novice can't do an easy project several times, to improve his/her technique.

Excellent instructions and illustrations for even beginners to successfully complete woven wheat projects, with no other outside assistance. The best "How To" book I've ever read, especially for such complex and intricate designs.
