Inspiring Review by Charlene Schurch

This book takes straightforward loom threadings and simple weave structures and makes beautiful and inspiring clots. There are 6 different wefts and patterning for each warp. Lets you set up for sampling or different projects from one warp. She uses different weights of yarn and fibers in interesting and thought provoking ways. Have the first of many warps on my loom inspired by this book
