Sharon Alderman, "Mastering Weave Structures: Transforming Ideas into Great Cloth"

Product Description:

This exploration into the structure of various weaves provides an understanding of how each weave works, guiding weavers to design and weave their own beautiful fabrics. The underlying principles that govern a particular kind of structure are explained, as are modifying the basic draft and choosing fibers and yarns. Comprehensive and detailed, the book covers plain weave, twills, satin, waffle weaves, distortions of the grid, three-element weaves, loom-controlled double weave, Bedford cords and piques, loom-controlled pile weaves, and crepe weaves.

Rating: 4

As a weaver, this text is helping me understand both the "what" & "why" of such things as warping & designing, as well as the total weaving process.What were before a series of steps to be mechanically followed,as in warping, now make sense in a grand way. This text has allowed me to begin "taking control" of the overall weaving process. It is giveing me the confidence to venture beyond previous limits & repititions of "The Known". The knowledge within the covers of this book is converting "MYSTERIES" into "Aha! So THAT is how it's done!" This new KNOWLEDGE has opened the door to NEW ADVENTURES in weaving for me!

And finally,Amazon's bargain price & free shipping made my purcahase possible.

Summary: Mastering Weave Structures

Rating: 5

Outstanding study & discussion of weave structure and it's affect such as drape, rigidity, uses. Not only includes study of weave structure but also includes her extensive study of color & fiber and their affects. Highly recommended for even the advanced weaver who weaves complex patterns. Nice reminder of some concepts I've forgotten. Not a pattern book. Sharon has stimulated me to reach beyond the known to the unknown.

Summary: Excellent book, essential for really understanding weaves

Rating: 5

I was very impressed by this book. I just picked it up a few days ago, and already have a much better understanding of what in a weave structure makes stable cloth, what to expect from different weaves in terms of draping and breathe-ability, working with Z and S-spun yarns, and even a bit about what to expect from different fibers (although this is not the focus of the book.) The construction of this book is also excellent--it's a heavy, hardbound book with coated paper and clear, well-shot photography. I'm excited to have this in my weaving library and highly recommend it.
