Ursina Arn-Grischott

Erda Keppler

Warp and weft exchanges, weaving tubes, stitching layers together. This volume has it all. The drafts are easy to read, the illustrations are big and in color. If you want to weave with yarns in different ratios - this book will tell you how to plan, warp and weave the cloth. You want to stuff your tubes? This book will show you how to stuff, close the tube and weave on. A marvelous book that will hopefully some day be reprinted so that all weavers will be able to enjoy its contents.

A real standout book on doubleweave, but not for the faint of heart. As the title suggests, there are no drafts for over 8 shafts. Arn-Grischott covers warp interchanges, weaving with different structures, folds, stitched double cloth and more. A fabulous book filled with color photos and thread diagrams showing you how warp and weft intersect. You could probably spend a weaving lifetime, expanding on what is covered here.

This book has enough information on double weave to keep a weaver busy for years. The subject is complex and this book delves into it without mercy, but I think that the color photos and the drafts of each example will make it possible to weave things you never thought possible on four or eight shafts. - BM
