Simple Weave: Weave without a Large Loom

In Simple Weave, a world of weaving opens up beyond large and expensive looms. Kerstin Neumuller demonstrates how you can weave accessible patterns with tools that are easy to make yourself or buy, and often small enough to fit in your pocket.

This simple but inspirational guide is for those who have never woven but are eager to try, as well as for experienced weavers interested in working with flexible and portable tools. Learn how to make practical and beautiful keepsakes, including bands and bracelets, pencil and laptop cases, and decorative wall ornaments.

Neumuller also shares simple woodworking techniques for making your own weaving tools, from making a frame loom and weave stretcher to carving a rigid heddle and, in an emergency, constructing one from cardboard.
