Summary: Excellent illos explain unusual techniques & designs
Comment: Twenty-two years after his famous "Techniqes of Rug Weaving", Collingwood produced a worthy sequel in this 1990 book, full of new ideas. Close-up photos of small samples, large detailed diagrams, and clearly-written text convey Collingwood's enthusiasm for his craft and lead the weaver through the methods needed to achieve some truly stunning effects, useful not just for rug weavers but for anyone interested in unusual handweaving methods. (Another book to seek is "Small Webs", a Danish (?) book for users of small table looms who want to create things no machine could produce.) The author's suggestions for altering and strengthening a loom struck me as sensible, especially since the loom I use was handmade by a musician friend from parts that were almost entirely "found objects" -- it includes bean poles and a post from a fallen street sign.

Large-format hc with color dust jacket, 160pp.
