Jan Zlendich - Library Journal There are more manufacturers of rigid heddle looms than books on the subject, so any new title on rigid heddle weaving may be of interest to libraries. The rigid heddle loom is a simple, relatively inexpensive, and remarkably versatile loom used to weave fabric for clothing, accessories, and household textiles. Betty Linn Davenport's Hands On Rigid Heddle Weaving has long been the standard introduction to this craft and is the best book to put in the hands of the novice weaver. Creative Weaving will appeal to the weaver who already owns this type of loom and is eager to experiment with combining a variety of colors and textures to fashion a unique fabric. This richly illustrated idea book includes general instructions for creating 30 different fabrics as well as basic information on warping the loom. A good choice for public libraries where demand warrants.
