What a treasure trove of information on weave structures (300 drafts included, ranging from 4 to multi-harness, for the intermediate to very advanced weaver.) While some discussion of Latvian cultural and textile history is included, this book is heavily hands-on instructional, with excellent analysis of Latvian pattern-weaving techniques and designs, color photos of some 50 museum quality samples, and contemporary project ideas using traditional weaves. Jane also teaches the reader double-harness weaving for multi-harness weaves and freeform patterning on 4 shafts. Comprehensive, detailed, carefully illustrated and explained,.
