Synopsis:

Both new and experienced hand weavers will find inspiration in this beautiful guide to creating lace. While true laces are laboriously made with needles or bobbins, hand weavers can use a loom to quickly produce lovely lacy fabrics. The loom-controlled textures depend upon groups of threads that work together and do not reveal their full effect until the cloth comes off the loom and is washed. Suitable for self-study or class use, this book offers weavers a sense of design mastery and a wealth of ideas and lace patterns.

About the Author:

Wherever Donna Muller travels from her home in Flagstaff, Arizona, renewed enthusiasm for weaving rises effervesently. Her knowledge and experience cover the full range of textile crafts, but several areas have earned her special interest and devotion: the loom-controlled laces fall into this group. Because she has a special talent for explaining intricate ideas in easy to understand terms, she is a popular teacher and guide for other weavers.
