The rigid heddle loom is a popular alternative to the floor loom because of its smaller size, much lower price, and ease of use. The rigid heddle loom is easy to use and the perfect size for small to medium items. The early chapters in this book give photo-illustrated instructions on how to prepare your materials, set up your loom, and weave. Detailed instructions are also given for more advanced types of weaving such as saori, lace, and working with pick up sticks and inclusions. To practice the techniques learned, step-by-step project notes are given for 11 pieces including scarves, placemats, cushions, wall hangings, and bags. Here you have a complete course that will take you from your first weaving to many more advanced techniques for your rigid heddle loom.
