Little Loom Weaving Made Simple

Weaving is one of the oldest crafts in the world, yet it has never been easier to begin. With a small loom, a few skeins of yarn, and a quiet corner of a table, you can make something with your own hands in an afternoon.

This book is written for the complete beginner. It assumes you have never warped a loom, never held a shuttle, and have no idea what the difference is between warp and weft. Starting from the very beginning, it walks you through the different kinds of small looms and how to choose the one that suits you, the yarns and tools worth buying first, and the simple steps of setting up your loom and weaving your first rows.

From there you will learn to work in plain weave, follow a basic pattern, change colors with confidence, and add texture through techniques such as rya, soumak, and looping. Later chapters cover finishing your work, removing it from the loom, and joining small pieces into larger projects, along with ten beginner projects to practice on.

Clear explanations, gentle pacing, and no assumed knowledge. If you have wanted to try weaving but were not sure where to start, start here.
