Weaving is something that anyone can do. With patience and a little practice the basic principles can be mastered, and beautiful carpets and rugs produced, for the fraction of the cost in the shops. Weaving does need a certain amount of special equipment, including a loom, but a simple frame loom can easily be made at home: there are full instructions for this. Step by step, all the intricacies for this fascinating craft are described, in easily understandable terms. There are clear diagrams and illustrations, as well as glowing colour pictures showing various kinds of weaving, and woven rugs. Warp and weft yarns are discussed, as well as additional items of equipment, such as shuttles and yarn winders. The endless possibilities for colour and design are revealed, and all the woven examples shown can be worked by the techniques explained in this book.
