Peggy Osterkamp's New Guide to Weaving
More time and more pleasure from your weaving -- that's what Peggy
Osterkamp's New Guide to Weaving series offers novice and experienced weavers
alike. The methods Osterkamp describes are based on many sources: Europe's
centuries-old tradition of efficient handweaving as a livelihood, adaptations
for handweaving from the textile industry, techniques taught by Jim Ahrens, the
original designer of AVL looms, and her own experiences teaching and
weaving.
