Weaving Off-Loom Hardcover – January 1, 1973

Weaving Off-Loom is the contemporary artist's and collector's definitive guide to weaving without a loom. Exquisitely illustrated and succintly written, it is also a gallery-hopper's tour of one of the most intriguing dimensions of contemporary textile artwork. The authors show how simple materials may be woven on frames, branches, cardboard shapes, and found objects, and often only the fingers are used for intertwining warps and wefts. A variety of easy-to-follow weaving patterns as well as other off-loom techniques such as bobbin lace-making, knotless netting, crochet, knotting, and basketry are lucidly explained.
