This video and the book "Learning to Weave" by the same person were all my husband and I needed to get started weaving. We read the book through and watched the tape. The tape "fleshed-out" things we weren't sure of from the book, and gave us and idea of what hands-on experience would be like. Then we used the book for step-by-step directions and reference when we got going. I am a beginner and have limited knowledge. But from my perspective, I highly recommend this tape and book.

Chandler's video offers a great comprehensive guide for beginning weavers. The video offers many of the necessary tidbits on how to weave that cannot be found elsewhere. Her step by step guide includes pleanty of the lingo needed to survive in a crafts store when trying to purchase your own supplies. Truely a valuable resource!

This presentation at 82 (the cover says 57 minutes: the paperwork inside says 82 minutes) minutes has paid for its self in the first ten minutes. All the different types of looms are contrasted. Then different methods using the looms are contrasted. The tools and acquirements that can be used are displayed with samples of their use.

This is a great presentation for those with warped minds. Shows different ways to attach the warp to the loom. It even gets into project planning. Deborah Chandler even talks discretely about loom waste and shrinkage. She gives actual formulas on what to buy.
