This vintage book contains a complete guide to loom weaving, with information on tools, technique, common problems, handy tips, and much more. It comprises a wealth of information for both the beginner and expert, is still practical and useful today, and constitutes a timeless resource that is highly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the subject. Contents include: "Simple Weaving", "A Simple Braid Loom", "Small Roller Braid Loom", "Large Roller Braid Loom", "Examples of Uses for the Braids", "The Making of Garments", "Examples of Weaving Illustrated", "Rug Weaving", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
