Jean Wilson's book 'Weaving is for Everyone' is like a scrapbook full of everything to do with the art of weaving you could wish for in one volume. It is both an idiot's guide for the total beginner as well as being my 'go to book' for weaving in general.

The book is stuffed with around 300 images of mostly black and white line illustrations and photographs, with a small spattering of colour plates dispersed throughout.

You could basically start weaving immediately with instructions for making a cardboard loom. Once you get stared with how easy the basic concept of weaving is, you will want to get more and more involved as I did, and this book helps you do that with an overview of the basic terminology used by weavers and simple explanations to projects.
