Open the door to the possibilities of what you can weave on your frame loom!

A comprehensive guide to the frame loom, this book introduces the weaver to the basics of frame loom weaving and also more advanced techniques.

Patterns for various weaves such as houndstooth and checkerboard are included, as well as instructions on how to adapt other weaves to the frame loom.

Photo-illustrated step-by-step instructions are given for all techniques and 20 unique projects from home decor items to pouches and bags, scarves and other wearables, stuffed toys, bookmarks, and more. Looms used in the book are 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch sizes, but the instructions are adaptable to any size loom. Once you know the basics, you can use your woven modules to create whatever you imagine!

      In this comprehensive guide, fiber artist Crone-Findlay (Potholder Loom Weaving) offers 20 projects for new and experienced weavers alike. The author begins by explaining what a frame loom is, followed by an “Equipment and Tools” section that outlines everything needed to get started on any project. Crone-Findlay covers basic gear, such as graph paper (“one of the handiest tools that a weaver can use when designing”) and more specialized instruments, like the Schacht Incredible Rope Machine for making twisted cords. Patterns include a simple woven bookmark, a playful “Storybook Doll,” and a multistep “Coat of Many Colors” that requires nearly 4,000 yards of yarn. She also offers clever hacks; for example, if one doesn’t have the extra-long Tunisian or Afghan crochet hooks needed to navigate the loom, Crone-Findlay suggests fashioning one using wooden chopsticks. Each design is paired with clear step-by-step instructions and photos of the process. This is an excellent place for would-be weavers to begin, or for experienced artists to find something new.
