Norwegian Pick-Up Bandweaving

A very useful hb book. It starts with the history, traditions and usage of the woven bands. Then follows an equipment and 'how to' section. It also contains a number of patterns. Can be used by a beginner to learn. Just remember that one needs to practise to become proficient. The patterns are also useful for intermediate weavers and the background information is interesting for any crafter.

Lots of interesting history as well as good patterns selection

brilliant, really facinating book, detailing the history and origins, plus a Chapter on how to do it and plenty of pattern charts. Well illustrated throughout.

The best book on Norwegian band weaving I've ever seen. Thank you! :)

Glad to find a book on this topic!

Interesting book.

this was a gift requested so presumably well received

While the history aspects of this are fascinating and comprehensively covered, and there are multiple traditional patterns shown, I was really looking for a guide to table weaving, which from the illustration on the cover is similar but not the same technique or equipment. So be careful to check that this is what you want

The book is very useful to know more about the Norwegian band weaving and contains several patterns as well.

カラー写真を多用し、道具類、織り方、パターン全て行き届いた内容だと思います。これからバンド織に挑戦してみようと考えている方にお勧めの本です。

As an experienced floor loom and rigid heddle loom weaver, I was intrigued by inkle loom weaving but hesitant to buy an inkle loom. This book is well written, detailed in its step-by-step instructions, and makes taking on a new skill non-intimidating. There are many, many pictures and illustrations which was an unexpected bonus. A few minutes after carefully reading through the first how-to section for the second time, I was ready to start warping and weaving . I used my rigid heddle loom with a reed set on the back of a double heddle support (for extra distance from my work) and a fishing net shuttle I had purchased just the day before from Amazon. I would recommend using your smallest reed (mine is a 12), direct warping with a peg and winding and threading normally. In the future I will probably purchase a pattern heddle and use it as Mrs. Torgenrud shows but you can certainly achieve good results with a rigid heddle. Five stars!

Superbe livre de référence. Bien expliqué et de bonnes références historiques sur les pièces. Je le recommande fortement.

Un libro esaustivo con moltissime immagini e diagrammi
