Introduction PART ONE: Learning to Weave Chapter 1: How to choose the right loom Chapter 2: How to wind a warp and thread a loom PART TWO: Projects Appendix Bibliography Index
Anne Field found that beginners learn best when they can start making things right away. So this book takes a project-based approach, where you will learn techniques through actually doing a weaving project.
Anne Field was an internationally-renowned weaver and spinner who taught, lectured and exhibited around the world. In 2001, she became the first hand weaver to be made a fellow of the Textile Institute, UK. Anne had over fifty years' weaving and spinning experience, and wrote a number of books on the subjects, including Learn to Spin with Anne Field (2011), Spinning Wool: Beyond the Basics (2011), and Collapse Weave: Creating Three-Dimensional Cloth (2008).
This is a project-based book for beginners that is excellently
illustrated throughout with good Contents and Index. ... As a
beginner weaver, this reviewer will be buying this book. -- Chris

I really wish that I'd had this book when I first began messing
around with looms ... As well as step by step instructions, the
book is stuffed full of practical hints and advice gained in Anne
Field's decades of weaving and teaching ... The no-nonsense
approach, careful selection of projects and the wealth of
experience Anne Field brings to the task of teaching and captures
in print make this a book that every beginner or intermediate
weaver will benefit from. It's fantastic and I'm really glad to see
it. -- Gordon Findlay * Booksellers New Zealand blog *
