Synopsis
With instructions for all sorts of projects, this guidebook introduces a well-rounded foundation in the ancient art of weaving. The 10 chapters of this book present weaving techniques such as plain weave and twill, canvas and spot weaves, monk's belt and honeycomb, rosepath, crackle weave, waffle weave, color effects, M's and O's, and true dräll or block damask. The patterns can all be varied by using different types of yarn; for example, blankets and pillows constructed from wool yarns can be adapted to a fine modern rug when changed to linen. Weavers working alone or in classes will be inspired by the rich illustrations and photographs depicting vibrant projects that will provide many satisfying hours at the loom.

Reviews
Björk and Ignell (the author of Favorite Rag Rugs, 2007, and Favorite Scandinavian Projects, 2010, and the editor of Vävmagasinet, a Scandinavian weaving magazine) provide an accessible collection for novices, filled with 10 different patterns and more than 30 individual projects to copy. Readers will still need to master the basics of warp and weft, overshot and waffle weaves (among other techniques), yet the authors feature excellent color photographs and full-fledged instructions, with techniques, materials, weaving finishing, weft sequence, appropriate graphs, and other pertinent information discussed. Many weave patterns will ring familiar to American crafters, such as twill (a herringbone pattern), waffle, and rosepath (flower shapes). For the most part, projects are home based: pillows, tablecloths and runners, rugs, towels, blankets, and one bathrobe. --Barbara Jacobs
