The Handweaver's Pattern Directory June 22, 2008 A must have for all weavers using 4-shaft loom patterns. It has all the patterns in color which allows you to see the beauty in the different patterns. Easy pattern instructions. If you are buying only one book, THIS IS THE BOOK!! Great Price.

An excellent book, for all stages, for weavers using 4-shafts. Clear diagrams with photographs of the actual weaving item. A must-have book at one's elbow when weaving.

An excellent guide to weaving and 600 patterns. The first part of the book is dedicated to weaving terms and techniques, with illustrations. The bulk of the book is treadle and heddle diagrams and color photos of the patterns created. A beautiful, lush and textural book.
