Summer and Winter for the new millennium,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Summer and Winter Plus: The Best of Weaver's (Best of Weaver's series) (Paperback)
This book contains more than forty great projects to make using tied weaves (weaves where tabby warps and wefts alternate with pattern yarns to hold fabric together, while allowing colorful pattern yarns to create designs and textures). A tutorial is included to walk the weaver through the design and structure of these fabrics. As usual, Madelyn van der Hoogt selects the best project examples, and Alexis Xenakis provides the best photographs to capture both completed projects and close-ups that show yarn interactions. Instructions are clear, concise and beautiful. Gerry Woodhouse
