"I have come across so many recommendations for this book - can't wait to get started!"
"I like the towels and I am excited to weave them. I am new and got really confused on her layout of the weaving drafts. This is not layed out in a regular "weaving draft" format. there may be about 10 boxes some are threadings, other is a tie up then the treadlings each in their own box on the page. then another few boxes will say how many times to do what. once I read it through several times, it started to make a little sense to me. but it wasn't intuitive. although this may be common and I am just too new to have seen this before."
"I appreciate that the author provided the first chapters on weaving basics. The rest of the book gives some very easy to understand drafts as inspiration. This is a good resource for both anyone new to weaving as well as those of us looking for some new ideas."
"Nice book"
"A beautiful and inspiring book that will ignite my Winter Weaving! I am eager to dive in now that the holidays are over and the snow is falling. The early chapter on profile drafts is a great refresher for me since I haven't been at my floor loom for quite a while. There are great tips & tricks as well as troubleshooting tips are very clever! I am eager to get started since I ordered this book to refresh & inspire my desire to weave on my floor looms this winter and it has accomplished that!"
