"With innovative ideas and careful attention to detail, this book delivers exactly what the cover promises, inspired designs not only for the rigid heddle loom but with drafts included, shaft weavers as well. Sidebars provide all manner of useful information so be sure to watch for them. From dressing the loom to fulling, beginners will find everything they need to get started weaving with confidence and as their skills develop, provide challenging new ideas to try. Without a doubt, this is one of the better beginner weaving books available." --Monsters and Critics"Both brand new and experienced weavers will not be able to wait to try them all out!" --Kick Ass Book Reviews"Get started...you will have gifts for everyone." --Hartford Knitting Examiner"The projects are much more sophisticated than any I've seen for this type of loom and the use of color and texture is fabulous. This book can teach a beginner how to make a scarf, but more importantly, the wonderful fabric creations inspire one to go beyond scarf-making. The authors also teach techniques such as felting, fringe twisting, pom-pom making, fulling, dying--even a step-by-step instruction how to deconstruct a sweater to re-purpose the yarn." --Knit and Travel
