Reviews
8-Shaft weaving must have
When I got my 8 shaft loom I asked friends in my guild which weaving books I should get and this was top of the list. When ever I am asked the same question I always respond in the same way now.
"A Weavers Book of 8 Shaft Patterns" is a must have for any weaving library. The wealth of drafts and explain actions will keep you busy for a long time. Drafts are easy to follow for people who have some experience already reading drafts and if you need to see cloth in color you can always joint the facebook page where people share their work (I have been inspired there by drafts that didn't catch my eye in the book).
Highly recommend this book!
