A Must-Have

This is the perfect textbook for the serious weaving student. Ms. Black starts with the premise that the weaver is all alone with a loom and no way to get information on how to use it, save this book. She therefore covers every point that an aspiring weaver needs to know to become proficient at weaving. The weaver can progress through the book from beginning to end, and also keep it handy as a reference throughout his/ her weaving career.
