4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent college textbook,
By A Customer
This review is from: Weaving: A Handbook of Fiber Arts (Paperback)
This book is the standard college textbook at the two universities where I studied weaving, and includes historical information, practical instruction, and design information. The practical instruction assumes you have a floor loom. Recommended.

Very Good First Reference Book,
By
This review is from: Weaving: A Handbook of Fiber Arts (Paperback)
This book is not a "How To", except for perhaps the floor loom sampler. I agree with the comment that the history is the best part, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the explanations of fibers and yarns. It reads like a college text and has been used as a college text. This book is very good for a broad introduction to weaving and some other related fiber arts.

Don't waste your money!,
By A. Borovkoff (San Francisco, Ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weaving: A Handbook of the Fiber Arts (Paperback)
Don't waste your money on this "handbook". There aremany better books on weaving. This book reads like a collegeinstruction manual for students who will never continue on in weaving. The historical section is the best part of the book. Following the simple historical info section are completely pathetic section on card weaving, inkle weaving and loom weaving. ( ) this book is way way way overpriced! Maybe if it was offered (it for less money) I might purchase it again as a very simple reference manual but I would have some doubts at that! END
