Product Description
Weaving, one of the fastest ways to produce cloth, is thoroughly explained in this simple guide to the age-old craft. A perfect blend of ease and functionality, the small, portable rigid heddle loom can be used to easily produce loose, drape-friendly fabric as well as dense, sturdy material. Eighteen projects—for scarves, bags, belts, tops, and a bevy of household goodies such as pillows, rugs, and blankets—explore how to combine colors and create textured fabrics using a variety of techniques. Additional tips on adding crocheted edges, beaded fringe, and needle-felted flowers are also included.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Gipson focuses on inexpensive, easy-to-use rigid heddle looms in this much-needed addition, including an extensive overview of weaving basics and a collection of accessible, attractive patterns." —Library Journal
"Destined to become a classic reference book . . . Stellar!" —Blisstree.com
"Easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions . . . Most of the featured projects are designed with either earth or jeweltones, causing the woven stitches to pop from the pages of the book." —Detroit News
