Pattern Drafting and Designing

This section provides guidance for designing a band pattern, selecting colours, threading the cards, and creating pattern variations. Learn how to best utilize dark and light patterning in a variety of weave structures, including stripes, chevrons, double weave, and more!

Finishing

The finishing techniques with woven bands are limitless?this section provides instructions for twisted fringe, four-strand braiding, half-knots, square knots, tassels, and more techniques to successfully finish your weaving.

This book also includes structural techniques, such as decreasing and increasing warp threads, using supplemental wefts, and tubular weaving. Plus, learn how to expand card weaving by introducing tension control, playing with warp twisting, and using cards in loom weaving.

Card weaving opens up an abundance of new techniques to new and experienced weavers alike! Get started card weaving today with this excellent resource!
