Projects are more contemporary than your average craft book – you'll learn how to make eclectic tapestry wall hangings, lampshades, bags, baskets, frames, rugs, charms, accessories – there's loads you can do!

The authors are massive try yards, their writing is incredibly annoying and the projects look like they were done by an uncoordinated child.

I feel like they wrote it for a young audience, but for an interested teen I’d recommend a book written by someone who can actually weave.
