This long awaited book of patterns for 4 and 8 shaft weaving supersedes Elsa Krogh's earlier book of patterns for 8-shaft weaving. It is a much more substantial book and has good colour illustrations throughout.

It's a project-based book, but has plenty of information about techniques, tips and tricks. It assumes that you know how to make a warp and weave, and read a draft / drawdown.

90 colour pages, paperback.
