"A rigid heddle loom is a good way to learn how to weave without spending much money. The skills and techniques you learn using a rigid heddle loom are all transferable to other types of looms, including table and floor looms. We assume that you are a beginner or an advanced beginner who has warped your loom several times and has woven a few projects. This book presents a collection of twenty-six scarves and variations that range in difficulty from advanced beginner to very complex. The authors introduce new weavers to a broad sampling of weaving techniques, exploring various ways of creating cloth on a rigid heddle loom. Weavers learn how to create lovely scarves that are creative, classic, and fun to make and wear. Using various weave structures, color, yarn combinations, and techniques such as felting and embellishment, the authors take you through the basics to a jumping-off point for personal exploration and creation. Supports new weavers in their desire for appropriate patterns and better skills as well as a deeper understanding of fibers, types of weave techniques, and all the varieties of fabrics that are possible -- even to beginners. Jane Patrick is the former editor of Handwoven magazine. Stephanie Flynn Sokolov is the coauthor of Yearning to Weave and Spin, and her projects can also be found in Spin.Off magazine"--Provided by publisher.
