5.0 out of 5 stars
Good for Daydreaming,
By M. McPhillips "single-handedly keeping Amazon... (Rumsey Island, Maryland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: A Weaver's Garden (Hardcover)
I like this book's concept; taking a "whole" task like weaving and doing a "how-to" book for making it an integral part of one's life. I don't weave, don't know how to weave, but I have applied the idea of this book to making bread from "scratch" (grew the wheat, evaporated the salt from sea water, collected wild yeast from the air, etc.). There are so many "old" trades and ways of doing things that have disappeared and I love reading about them; people who do them, how to do them, how they're "organized," etcetera.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Good overview and practical advice,
By
This review is from: A Weaver's Garden (Hardcover)
A splendid resource book, covering plants used for textile fibers, to natural soaps, to natural dyes and dyeing, to planning and planting your weaver's or dyer's garden. As a weaver and dyer, I can attest to both the practicality of the deeper-than-surface overview information given both on plants and propagation, natural dyes, and applaud the excellent examples shown in color photos and b&w botanical illustrations throughout.
Well indexed, with resource listings of plant and seed suppliers and seed exchanges, as well as an extensive glossary. Too bad to see it remaindered; a copy should be in every weaver's guild library.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice overview of weaving related plants,
By Earthnut (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Weaver's Garden (Hardcover)
Describes plants used for fiber, dyes, soap, scent, and weaving tools, as well as how to grow them in the garden. I especially like the chapter on soap plants, as that information is hard to find in other books.
