5.0 out of 5 stars If there is one book every weaver should own it is this one., September 14, 1998

Daniel Waits (Warner Robins, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Handweaver's Pattern Book (Hardcover)

Truly, this is the book every weaver should have. Why? It contains, in a simple manner, many of the basic patterns used by every weaver. The instructions, tie-ups, draw downs - well, every aspect of this book makes the weaving of the time honored and time tested patterns a fairly easy process. So much of weaving refers to patterns that are within the cover of this book. Ms. Davison's work to preserve the ageless patterns is well worth the price. Buy it, read it, use it, and pass it on to someone you love in your will.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only 4-harness pattern book you'll ever need!!!, January 3, 2003

This review is from: A Handweaver's Pattern Book (Hardcover)

I have been using this book for over 15 years. It is easy to find the perfect pattern for a weaving project, and you only have to be able to follow a very simple diagram to do the tieup and weave. Many other books have entered and left my studio over the past 15 years....this is the only one I have kept......sw

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything, September 1, 2002

Grace Buchanan (Syracuse area, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Handweaver's Pattern Book (Hardcover)

I grew up with this book, and still consider it the most important one in my collection. It contains photos, threading, tie-down and treadling for nearly every type of 4 harness weave, plus each chapter begins with valuable general information about the weaves in that chapter.

It is a great book when you want a no-nonsense reference.
