The Complete Book of Drafting for Handweavers
Author: Madelyn van der Hoogt
This is a book on drafting that is also a handbook of weaves. You'll not only learn to use drafting tools -- warp and weft draw-downs, warp and weft cross sections, and block profile drafts, you'll also learn to design with pattern weaves. Under one cover find the steps for drafting and weaving any profile design in any unit weave as well as extras like color-and-weave, blended drafts, turned drafts, network drafting, and fabric analysis. Beginner and advanced weavers will refer to it as a constant resource, from the first to the last day you weave! Considered a classic for its clear and concise explanations as well as its excellent diagrams and illustrations! Black & white photographs and diagrams.
