Creating woven wall hangings for the dedicated craftsperson

This is a very detailed and specialized book for the person interested in the ancient art of weaving with a loom. The author draws inspiration from primitive and medieval art. Includes discussion of the tapestry designs of the Egyptians Coptics, pre-Incan and Incan Peru, and medieval France. The challenge is how to translate ancient design into modern projects using contemporary materials. Talks about how to select a loom, and goes into detail about yarns, preparation for weaving, and weaving techniques. The book contains numerous black and white illustrations and photos, and a few color photos.
