Includes a detailed history of card weaving - from its origins in ancient Egypt to the present day. The next chapter involves the materials needed and the types of yarn most suitable for card weaving. A special section is devoted to weaving a double fabric and other special effects, such as free-form and dimensional weaving.

Good historical information, introduction to card weave, drafts and how to do your own design work. Also instruction on using your loom to tension the warp.

Although many of the patterns and variations described are painfully seventies, her explanation of the basic techniques is pretty solid.
