4.0 out of 5 stars Creating woven wall hangings for the dedicated craftsperson, May 24, 2005
By 
Pamela (Dubuque, IA USA) - See all my reviews
This is a very detailed and specialized book for the person interested in the ancient art of weaving with a loom. The author draws inspiration from primitive and medieval art.

Includes discussion of the tapestry designs of the Egyptians Coptics, pre-Incan and Incan Peru, and medieval France. The challenge is how to translate ancient design into modern projects using contemporary materials.

Talks about how to select a loom, and goes into detail about yarns, preparation for weaving, and weaving techniques. The book contains numerous black and white illustrations and photos, and a few color photos.
