Book Reviews of The Magic of Handweaving

Book Review: The best
Summary: 5 Stars

While many go ga-ga over the Chandler book, my teacher recommended this one to me and I have found it heaven sent and covers everything that a novice weaver could possibly need to know including the triangle, weavette & hand looms to the 4 and 8 shaft varieties. Sigrid gives lots of examples and by the end shows you how to take apart a design and recreate it. Wonderful book and cannot praise it highly enough.
