A practical and down-to-earth handbook for all skill levels. Designer and weaving expert Asa Parson and professional textile curator Amica Sundstroem have come together to create the modern reference book that weavers worldwide have always longed for-both inspiration and essential guidebook, for the novice and the experienced weaver alike, filled with engaging sample projects, in-depth discussions of techniques and materials, review of cloth textures and types, and explanations of weaving methods and levels of quality. Try out sample projects ranging from the elegantly simple to the increasingly complex, covering a wide range of weaving techniquesUnderstand the principles behind the arrangement and preparation of the loom Learn about weaving tools of all shapes and sizes, and how to use them Discover the differences between various fibers and fabric types, and their looks, feels, and visual effectsAnd so much more!
Once the projects inspire the weaver, there is information on looms and tools that would be useful to many, especially new weavers bewildered by weaving equipment. . . . A pleasant addition was the section on materials. We are notorious in the weaving community for not spending enough time learning about the yarns we weave. The images of the thread wraps used in the projects are backed up with information in the text. Not only does this help educate the reader about the projects [in the book], but the information will be beneficial for future projects. --Heddlecraft Magazine This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in Scandinavian-style weaving, and in particular, anyone wanting to learn to weave on a countermarch or counterbalance loom. --Handwoven Magazine
When designing textiles Asa Parson is reductive in her approach, allowing only the essential elements to remain.

Working at the Swedish History Museum where she works as a curator, in charge of the textile collections. She is a much-appreciated speaker within the field of textiles, and specifically prehistoric textiles and dress.
