Peter Collingwood's book on handwoven rug techniques beyond basic plain weave, organized by structure. It covers weft-face rugs in plain weave (pick-and-pick stripes, crossed and clasped wefts, compensated inlay, weaving inscriptions), weft-face rugs in multishaft weaves (krokbragd, 2/2 twill, skip twills), and block weaves including three-end and four-end block drafts with pick-up and shaft-switching methods. Later chapters treat warp-face weaves, weft twining, rug finishes (braids, whipping) and workshop notes on loom features and equipment. Illustrated with many plates, diagrams and weaving drafts.
