highly recommended

All the basics of weaving are provided in this succinct handbook. Spiral-bound so that it stays open and filled with definitions and illustrations, the book invites weavers to refer to it as they work. Included are easy reference charts and many sidebar tips to ensure success in both on- and off-loom weaving techniques. Information on project preparation, tools, drafting, warping the loom, weaving, and in-depth finishing techniques is also provided. Resources for weavers include professional associations, Web sites, and common weaving terms in foreign languages.

Nice reference

I'm a beginning weaver. This book has all the loom parts and the information a beginner needs. It also has some information that more advanced weavers may appreciate (but I don't yet understand).

great little book

Great book, esp. for beginner weavers. It has just about every little fast fact needed for weaving in case you forget steps along the way.

Learning to Weave & Weaver's Companion

Both of these books are excellent references for weaving! The Learning book by Deborah Chandler covers everything from your decision to become a weaver of fabrics to becoming a professional who does custom fabric designs; all in a simple easy-to-understand classroom language, with beautiful illustrations. My weaving instructor reccommended this book for me and I'm certainly glad she did!
The small Weaver's companion's a compilation of creative efforts from the editors of a popular weaving magazine. It is a truly thoughtful,up-to-date spiral bound book which is small enough to tuck into your purse and carry anywhere. These authors have well-earned reputations. Order these two books; and discover why!

Great book

Concise information on many weaving topics. Great for a beginner! A reference manual I will use throughout my weaving experience.

A great little reference book

This is a great book for those of us who don't keep details in our heads well. This is a handy reference for all the little definitions, tools, techniques, knots, yarns, color issues, design rules of thumb, and so on and so forth. If you find yourself looking up weaving things in several different references, this book is a handy time-saver. It is spiral bound with a book mark built in.
