A comprehensive handbook on handweaving rugs by Peter Collingwood. It covers looms and equipment, yarns, and general techniques such as warping, beaming, joining wefts and finishing. Techniques for weft-face rugs include plain weave patterning, tapestry and kilim joins, soumak, weft chaining and looping, and knotted and corduroy pile. The longest sections cover multishaft weft-face weaves: twills, skip twills, shadow weave, block weaves on four to eight shafts, double-faced weaves, and pick-up versions. Later chapters treat warp-face rugs, weft twining, and rug finishes such as woven, knotted and twined edges and weft protectors. It has many weave diagrams, line figures, numbered plates, an index and a list of suppliers.
