4.4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+
I really enjoyed this book. It brought back childhood memories of weaving pot holders on my little plastic loom, and weaving paper baskets out of newspaper…which I had forgotten all about.
The author is self-taught with a background in textiles and graphic design as well as a passion for teaching this craft to others. The book is very visual, filled with cozy serene photography, and features a detailed “how-to” for beginners, followed by seasonal projects for beginner, intermediate and advanced weavers.
I love that she talks a lot about using existing or makeshift materials. She offers great tips on: yarn, tools, weaves, textures, patterns, stitches and dyeing your own wool using flowers, veggies, etc.
The last 4 chapters are devoted to project ideas like a pillow cushion, lampshade, clutch handbag, necklace, wall hanging and more. All the ideas were very inspirational and well done.
My only dislike of the book was the limited selection of project ideas. For a craft book, I like to see a broader variety, but this is still worth owning a copy if you plan to give it a go. I hope to try one out soon!
Thank you to NetGalley, White Owl, and Lucy Rowan for this wishlist ARC in exchange for an honest review!
