Pretty Pictures

I purchased this book right after I bought my rigid heddle loom. It is filled with photos of beautiful but simple weaving... and that is the bulk of the book. There is very basic information, emphasis on 'very'. In my opinion the book is good for skimming through for inspiration, but if you are needing detailed instruction, information, or how-to patterns then look elsewhere.

This book has a beautifully written and illustrated section at the beginning on warping and setting up a rigid heddle loom. The descriptions for each design are quite a bit less detailed. I got some great ideas from this book, but it might be frustrating to a complete beginner.

Great book for Rigid Heddle Loom

I needed this book. I am new at weaving and this has inspired me and helped me through the learning process. There are very few books on the rigid heddle loom and this is a keeper. You need this book if you are considering weaving on a RH Loom. I love it.

Creative Weaving: Beautiful Fabrics with a Simple Loom

Very nicely done, but I could have used a little more direction on the projects and more photos of these photos.
