Warp and Weft inspires and instructs with lessons on pattern drafting. From the three most basic techniques of Swedish weaving--tabby, twill, and satin--to more advanced techniques, the book can be used by anyone who weaves. The pages are profusely illustrated, showing nearly 200 examples, including variations on plain weaves, twills, satins, block weaves, color effects, double weaves and lampas, as well as a variety of more unusual structures. The color photos are clear and close-up and accompanied by complete draw-downs and profile drafts adjacent for ease of comparison. The variety of materials, textures, and colors, including a section on damask and drawloom weaving, make this book an inspiration for creativity as well as an encyclopedic resource on the techniques of weaving.

For the most part, the drafts are 4 and 8 shaft, but there are a few more for 10, 12 and 16 shaft looms. The drafts are done in the Swedish style. The whole draft is rotated vertically so that the threading is on the bottom next to the tie up and the treadling sequence travels up from the tie up on the right side.
To give you an idea about the format I've done a synopsis of the section about double weave. All sections contain drafts and color photos of the cloth along with written explanations.

Can you use this book to weave something? Definitely. Pick a structure or photo you like, use the draft provided, add your own color sense and yarn ideas and you have a scarf, or towel, etc. You can also use it to experiment with new ideas and as a stepping off point for a more in depth study of a particular structure. It would also make an excellent study group if everyone took a different chapter, studied it, wove samples and presented it in a group setting. ( )
