Weaving Within Reach: Beautiful Woven Projects by Hand or by Loom Kindle Edition

Just received this book today and there are many inviting and beautiful projects. The author specifies the exact yarn or other materials used in the project photos but they are expensive or hard to find or being discontinued. For example, theChunky Basketweave Pillow uses Knit Collage Wonderlust yarn at $44 skein. One skein per pillow. She does say one can use any jumbo novelty yarn. The Open Weave Place Mats use Habu Textiles N-5b Wide Cotton Kasuri Gima - this product is being discontinued so one can find only bright white or purple. The Chunky Woven Storage Box was done in Loopy Mango Mini Merino Wool - one 17 ounce skein is $110 on Amazon. Just be warned that these projects are not inexpensive to complete if we use the same materials as shown in the photos.

The book is filled with beautiful, creative, sophisticated projects in an appealing neutral palate. There is a wide variety of interesting projects to carry, wear and use in the home. Home décor projects include pillows, baskets, towels, trivets, placemats, and a wall hanging (and several more), and fashion projects include earrings, cuff bracelets, a necklace, a woven trim tank top and various tote bags and clutches, to name a few. The projects are accompanied by detailed instructions and lots of step-by-step photos and there is a lengthy 40+ page section at the back of the book full of useful information and guides for everything from choosing and using tools and warping your loom, to weaving with different fibers and making shapes, to finishing your projects.

Love the number of projects in this book with such beautiful illustrations and detailed directions for each one. I like that she has all the projects divided between non-loom, frame-loom and made-loom. This is a great book for all weavers, beginner to experienced. I'm so excited about this new book and can't wait to start a project, my only problem is that I want to do all of them. :)

I'm crafty but haven't really tried weaving. I was able to make one of the projects from this book (the woven trivet, my version pictured) in just a handful of hours and without having to ever start over because I've messed up. Which has been my problem with knitting, lol

I have enjoyed this book because it has made me think about weaving in different ways and with materials I had not taken seriously. It is very well-written and explains techniques very well. It definitely belongs in the crafter's collection.

Got the book today and immediately looked thru it cover to cover and was very impressed. There is a wide variety of projects for multiple skill levels. Well written with clear illustrations. Can't wait to get started.

Well Anne did it again, another beautiful book! Great inspiring pictures and well written instructions. I am a beginner and can easily understand and follow steps. Thanks Anne! A++

This book is so unique! You can weave with a look, but more importantly Anne opens up a whole new world of weaving on found objects. She weaves on things that you wouldn't think of probably. For example, she weaves on wild grass! And it's all gorgeous AND useful for everyone. Absolutely love this book. It's worth every penny and then some!

I opened this book with the expectation that I'd only like a few of the projects but overall it's excellent! I was most looking forward to creating some of the baskets without a loom and I can see my weekend being taken up with these and the cushions... which look lush! Obviously the result depends on the type of yarn used but I've got a few colour combinations I'm looking forward to trying.I've wanted this book for a while but waited until I saw it being sold in used condition by an independent bookseller.I'd recommend this to anyone who is interested in weaving.

A great addition to my collection of weaving books. Happy to recommend.

Es un libro lleno de buenas ideas aptas para todos los niveles. Muy fácil de seguir, los tutoriales vienen detallados con fotografías paso a paso.Recomendable para aquellos/as que quieran probar nuevas tecnicas tanto con telar como para tejer con las manos.Aviso: no es un libro con técnicas y nudos específicos para telares.

Very interesting. It contains many ideas.

Lots of wonderful ideas and most very easy to do.
