By Rowena Hart. This comprehensive book starts at the beginning, with the parts of the loom and equipment needed, but very quickly moves to learning the techniques of rigid heddle weaving by doing it. The first projects are simple scarves, but tapestry, rya, inlay, shibori, bronson, and soumak follow. Along the way, you can experiment with different fibers, colors, and textures. Rowena teaches the direct warping method, a speedy way to warp the loom using a single peg instead of a warping board. All techniques and projects are presented with good, clear photographs.
