All you ever needed to know about weft-faced pattern weaves
Krokbragd - I wanted in depth understanding of how it works and how it relates to other weft-faced weaves. That was the starting point. Nancy Hoskins book contains far more information than I will ever need, but she offers the enthusiastic weft-faced weaver detailed instructions for a wide range of techniques, simple charts and colourful illustrationsNot only do I now have the knowledge I was seeking, but I also have all the information I need to explore and develop weft faced pattern weaves in the future.However, it is a big book and if you only want to dip you toe in the water, it might be better to borrow it rather than buy it

Excellent
Very thorough book with details on large range of weft faced weaves. Book is like a tutorial with samples to practice starting with simple examples working through more complex structures. Not for a beginner weaver but packed with detail, diagrams and pictures with good explanations.

Quite interesting giving answers to many questions. It takes a lot of work to understand but it is worth it.

... comprehensive book on weft faced weaves and has some good inspiring photographs of what you can achieve
This is a comprehensive book on weft faced weaves and has some good inspiring photographs of what you can achieve. The descriptions on how to weave them are however extremely confusing. The layout is unclear and made my eyes swim.The author has tried to simplify the instructions by over explaining. She has created her own system of documentation which i found hard to follow and required me to do a translation from what i'm used to. i found it a challenge to use this book despite being an experienced weaver. Ive previously woven several of the techniques shown in this book but despite this i couldn't understand her instructions on how to weave them. I had to rely on my old notes. Perhaps this is a case of being stuck in my ways and maybe if i sit down with a lot of time and study the book it will become clearer but it isn't user friendly.
