Hands On Rigid Heddle WeavingHANDS ON RIGID HEDDLE WEAVING, Betty Linn.
This easy-to-use guide covers choosing, setting up, and weaving on a rigid heddle loom, and things you can make with plain-weave variations. The rigid heddle loom is light, portable and particularly suited for 2-harness weaves.  Despite its almost toy-like appearance, beautiful fabrics can be woven on it, as the author so well demonstrates.  She starts off by telling you to select a loom, then goes on to warping it and weaving on it.  She discusses sett, balanced weave, weft-emphasis and weft-faced fabrics, warp-emphasis and warp-faced fabrics, surface textures, and tapestry. If you want to start weaving with a very small investment, this is the way to go.  Very well-illustrated in black & white and color.  ISBN:0934026254.  120 pages, softcover, 8½" x 10¾".   $18.95  #239067

 

A Handweaver's Pattern BookA HANDWEAVER'S PATTERN BOOK, Marguerite P. Davison.
The core of any weaver's library would be incomplete without this book. It contains patterns for 4-harness weaves such as Summer & Winter, Crackle, Swedish Lace, Overshot, Huck, M's & O's, and Twill. The draft, tie-up and treadling are given for each pattern and it variation, with a photograph of a swatch for each pattern described. All told, there are 345 treadling directions well-illustrated with photographs of over 1200 swatches. This is a valuable reference book. ISBN: 0960317201.  8¾" x 11¼"  216 pages, hardcover, $38.00  #139188

 

A Handweaver's Source BookA HANDWEAVER'S SOURCE BOOK, Marguerite P. Davison.
The author left future generations of weavers two valuable reference books. This posthumous classic is her treasury of coverlet patterns. Full page drawdowns of 144 classic patterns with names like "Shuckeroon's Fancy, and "Jitterbug" are written with 4-harness overshot threading, but they are all usable as block patterns for any block weave structure. ISBN: 096031721X.  128 pages, 8½" x 11" softcover. $29.95  #139213

 

Handwoven Clothing: Felted to WearHANDWOVEN CLOTHING: Felted to Wear, Anita Luvera Mayer.
A felted fabric is woven before it is felted. The author provides you with a brief history of felted cloth, discusses garment design, explains the felting technique, exhibits her very attractive work in a portfolio section which also contains flat patterns for the pieces shown -- a coat, a kimono, a mirror vest, a knit sleeve jacket, and more.  She goes on to discuss the edge treatment of the fabric and surface embellishment.
  ISBN: 0916658457. 8½" x 11", enclosed spiral-bound.  $18.95  #139223
