I started weaving on a rigid heddle loom 50 years ago. There were no books, no teachers, no nada, and after not too long I gave it up. I went on to weave on other looms, but always said the rh just is not my loom. If this book had been available then I think my life might have taken different turns than it did. It is everything we needed then, techniques and ideas that have been developed by rh weavers and teachers in all these decades. Put together by Jane Patrick in not just accessible but truly useful, friendly, and inspiring ways, this book is pure genius and beautiful to boot. If you are thinking of learning to weave, on any kind of loom, this book will help you enjoy the process. It's really good!
