This book shows many possibilities....some over my beginner level ...but certainly enough to use as a beginner and then look forward to as I progress. Lots of other vital information as well in the front of the book and great explainations. Don't know how helpful it would be without ... Read More Rating - Handweaver's Pattern Directory Seeing the patterns in color is absolutely wonderful and so helpful. I have a popular book, which I love and use constantly, but with the black and white photos of the patterns you don't get the real 'picture'! This book is an invaluable addition to my reference library of weaving books. Thanks, Happy Weaver Rating - The Handweaver's Pattern Directory A must have for all weavers using 4-shaft loom patterns. It has all the patterns in color which allows you to see the beauty in the different patterns. Easy pattern instructions. If you are buying only one book, THIS IS THE BOOK!! Great Price.
