Answered every question I had on buying a loom, weaving, dyeing, carding and spinning.
It was made in 1946 to be a textbook for Nova Scotia, Canada classes and 70 years later still serves that purpose.

A bit outdated but a good reference.

My go to book when I plan almost every new project.

This book is meant as a study guide or text book. It is quite extensive and I will refer to it regularly. A weaver friend of mine calls it her 'bible'.
