Hands On Weaving
by Barbara Liebler 1986 "From building a simple frame loom to turning out beautiful one-of-a-kind handwoven heirlooms, Hands on Weaving will get you started on the road to creativity. It includes information on how looms work, from the simple build-it-yourself tapestry frame to full-size floor looms. Clear instructions for a variety of handwoven projects, from very easy to more challenging are provided. Each one is a weaving lesson in itself. In addition, the author covers fundamentals of design, colors and materials for all kinds of woven pieces. Abundant illustrations, inspiring color photography and lucid text will help you start weaving right away with tools and materials that are readily at hand. This is both an overview and a project book on weaving on three different types of looms -- the frame loom, rigid heddle loom and the 4-harness loom. Each loom has its advantages. The frame loom is the simplest, least expensive, loom you can use. The loom does hold threads under tension, but that is all it does. The rigid heddle loom does that but it often allows you to put on a larger warp and does make a shed more easily. The 4-harness loom makes it possible for you to make more complex patterns easier than you can on the other looms. If you have not yet decided which route you should follow in your own weaving, this book may help you come to a conclusion." |
