Hands On Rigid Heddle Weaving

I recently bought an Ashford Rigid Heddle Loom and quite honestly I couldn't have got on with it so easily without this very helpful book, full of illustrations and clear descriptions of procedures. It also explores just how much I can do on a simple loom like this, it has kept me weaving nonstop since I got the book!

this book tells you in easy steps how to get the best from your loom i will keep going back to it for reassurance would recommend to any budding weaver

Good "How to weave" book for the rigid heddle loom. Some ideas provided beyond plain weave. Nice clear instructions, good troubleshooting section

I am only learning to weave and I have found this book useful. Later as I get more experienced I will get a more advanced book. This book will do me for the moment as it explains the processes needed for a beginner.

Very good

found the book interesting. Useful to refer back to. Sure it will be one of those books that we get out periodically to refer back to

Just what I was looking for. Very informative helped me get started on the road to weaving. Recommended

I bought this book before I bought my loom as I wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing first. It was good for that. But for actual weaving I found it limiting. I was soon looking for a better book and was recommended one from the people I bought my loom off (and since then other weavers). So I will be buying this recommended book now. The patterns in this book are incredibly old fashioned. I cannot imagine anyone wanting to make them.

Das Buch beschreibt sehr schön,was für verschiedenen Bindungsvarianten mit einem Webrahmen mit Gatterkamm gewebt werden kann. Zu jeder Bindungsart ist ein gewebtes Beispiel dargestellt. Das Einrichten des Webrahmens wird beschrieben, für den Anfänger kann es aber nicht ganz schlüssig wirken. Es wird ein wenig auf die Farbzusammenstellungen eines Gewebes und auf die Garnkunde eingegangen. Ein gutes Buch, aus welchem man sich immer wieder Anregungen holen kann.

This is the most recommended book for rigid heddle weaving and with good reason. The directions are clear and the depth and variety of information is outstanding. I come back to this book over and over as I up my skills and want to progress. It walks you right seat through a table runner or pillow project, clearly explaining every step as you go and not just a simple, bland project but a patterned piece that is beautiful yet beginner friendly. It even covers tricks for fixing errors. It covers a host of interesting, easy patterns such as log cabin, open weave, and float patterns with a pick up stick. The projects are varied from tote bags and purses to vests and tops. There is an afghan with panels you sew together. There is even a pattern to weave a carry bag for your foldable loom. If I could only have one weaving book, I’d choose this one.

日本語の入門書にはあまり書かれない、基本的な説明が詳細に書かれています。作品を作りながら、楽しく手織りの技術を学んでいけると思います。織り方の技術も豊富で、色、柄の考え方の基本、応用作品のヒントなど、解説もあります。全体に少しも堅苦しくなく、ゆっくり、楽しみましょう、という雰囲気が基本にあるので、読んでいて楽しいです。 英語中級程度で読めると思います。

Sono contenta di averlo lo sto usando in Italia si trova poco equi i passaggi sono chiari ed esplicativi per poter tessere

This book is exactly what I wanted. I bought my own after browsing through a copy at a guild library.
