Really helpful. Better than I expected.

A must have for your textile library. Weaving techniques will be of interest to anyone who is using a flip loom, 8 harness, or Saori loom. I am delighted to add this to my collection.

This is an study of five stitch families, Interlace, Wrap, Loop, Chain and Knot, as they apply to both surface design and fabric construction, from embroidery, Hoskins provides photographs of historic and modern examples and goes into great detail about how to produce the stitches in different forms of weaving as well as on completed fabric. If you subscribe to Handwoven or Piecework magazine this title may interest you. This title is a recommended purchase for academic and special libraries, such as guild and art libraries, as well as large public libraries.
