You Can Weave! provides a sequence of illustrated, step-by-step projects that build a foundation of weaving knowledge and skills. The projects rely on supplies that are readily available, such as paper, yarn ribbon, string, rags, and beads. Students begin by learning and practicing the basic weaving process of "over and under." Next, they learn to weave on cardboard, frame, back strap, and other wooden looms. A detailed appendix provides instructions for building looms and a rigid heddle. Colorful examples of woven art provide inspiration and beauty throughout the book. Authors Kathleen Monaghan and Hermon Joyner. Hardcover. 96 pages. 8 1/2" × 10 1/2" (22 cm × 27 cm). |
