The basics of weaving on a small loom
This book is useful for learning about the basics of weaving on a small loom. The instructions are easy to follow, and I have learnt a lot from it. The projects are for a small loom, and are fine if you like little fluffy wall hangings. I am making the place mats.

Loads of nice and easy instructions
I am a first timer to weaving and wanted some basic tips. The book provided that. I think you can get better inspiration from Etsy and Pinterest but some of the patterns in the book will be very useful.

Amazing read
Item arrived way above expected/quoted time frame in as new condition. The content was amazing with clear concise instructions and pictures as well as diagrams to aid in projects. All projects were colorful but not tacky, useful and/or decorative. I highly recommend this to any weavers looking to expand their library or to any beginning weaver looking to begin.

Not the best book especially for finishings and not trendy
I love the fact that the author has gathered the weaving techniques at the beginning of her book since I am not big at all on books that teach a technique in a project. Practising is important especially to keep your edges straight and consistent. I like the fact that you have both written explanations and a chart. As for me, the projects are not modern at all ( not a problem for me since I did not buy the book for the projects) and the author is far from being a good weaver ... she lacks technique for sure: wonky edges and the way she finishes the projects is really awful especially the way she attaches the wall hanging to a rod.

So far so good
I just received this book but it is exactly what I was looking for. They have colored pictures which makes the basic instructions easy to follow especially for beginners like me.
