From light silk to chunky chenille, from subtle white-on-white jacquard to bold magenta and goldenrod plaid, from four-inch-wide neck wraps to three-foot-wide body wraps, there is a scarf here to delight and encourage every handweaver. Drafts of the weave structure and design notes encourage and guide handweavers of varying skill to making their own beautiful scarves. Full-page, full-color photographs of each scarf and biographies of the contributing weavers are also included.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not helpful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Handwoven Scarves (Paperback)
The only reason this book gets two stars instead of one is because it was promoted honestly as a source of inspiration and did not promise detailed instructions. The publisher should have known better, however, than to purposely omit weaving details. Such a format is of little use to those of us who have no desire to spend time experimenting. Further, there are inaccuracies; I resorted to telephoning one of the contributors when I was unable to reconcile the draft with the scarf -- because the draft as presented in the book was incomplete! I wasted an afternoon because of this error.

3.0 out of 5 stars
After a loooong wait, a disappointment.,
By Christine O'Keefe (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Handwoven Scarves (Paperback)
I have patiently been waiting for this book to be published (it was late) and when I finally received it was greatly disappointed. While the photographs are indeed lovely and the scarves are inspirational, there were few that included the drafts for the designs. Fiber statistics would have also been helpful including yardage and possible resources. I returned this book.

Pretty but disappointing,

This review is from: Handwoven Scarves (Paperback)
I'm a new weaver & really looked forward to getting this book. The scarves are beautiful & the book inspirational, but did I mention I'm a new weaver? It's hard to turn that inspiration into a textile treat without some direction or instruction. The editor states they published the information each scarf designer was comfortable in sharing; a few were very generous, but most shared only the very basic information. All in all, this book was a disappointment and not what I've come to expect from Interweave Press.
