5.0 out of 5 stars Very thorough book on this art, September 5, 2007
By 
Janna Jansen (Waiheke Island, New Zealand) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Techniques of Tablet Weaving (Paperback)
The most complete instructional and historical documentation of tablet weaving ever contained in one book. Techniques are categorized into 17 weave structures with chapters devoted to each.
Chapters:
-historical introduction
-introduction of terms used
-equipment
-yarns
-warping
-threading and manipulation of tablets
-starting, finishing, and varying the width of a band
-warp-twined bands and their characteristics
-warp-twined bands with all cords equally twined between successive picks
-warp-twined bands with all cords not equally twined between successive picks
-bands whose structure is predominantly plain weave, hopsack, gauze or twill
-bands whose structure is a double-faced weave based on 3-span warp floats in alternate alignment
-weft-patterning of tablet-woven bands
-using an extra non-twining warp
-special warp and weft manipulations unrelated to the weave structure
-other possibilities
-ways of producing a warp-twined structure without tables

5.0 out of 5 stars Great second book to own, July 30, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Techniques of Tablet Weaving (Paperback)
This is dense with detail-- and overwhelming for the first time table weaver. Get Candice Crockett's _Card Weaving_ book first. When you decide you're ready to get geeky about tablet weaving then this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good, October 21, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Techniques of Tablet Weaving (Paperback)
Very good book on the topic. Even though it does not include many pattern instructions, it introduces the reader into all techniques of tablet weaving (thus the title), with lots of historical information and examples shown.
It's worth it!
