Rigid Heddle Weaving Made Easy

Turn simple yarn into beautiful handwoven cloth, even if you have never woven before.
Maybe your rigid heddle loom is still in its box. Maybe you tried to warp it once and ended up with tangled threads, wavy edges, and a scarf that got narrower and narrower. You are not the problem. You simply need clear, patient instructions that show you every step.
Rigid Heddle Weaving Made Easy is a friendly, fully illustrated guide that takes you from unboxing your loom to finishing projects you will be proud to use, wear, and give.
Inside this beginner-friendly guide, you will discover:
- Your loom, explained: every part, the 3 heddle positions, and the essential tools you really need
- Yarn made simple: fibers, weights, wraps per inch, and 3 quick tests for a warp yarn that will not snap or stretch
- Direct warping, step by step: plan your warp length and yarn amounts, then warp your loom without tangles
- Smooth plain weave: the weaving rhythm, an even beat, and neat edges that do not pull in
- Easy fixes: draw-in, skipped threads, broken warp threads, and loose tension
- Beautiful finishing: hemstitching, twisted fringe, sewn hems, washing, fulling, and blocking
- Pattern and texture: pickup sticks, stripes, plaids, color-and-weave, Brooks Bouquet, Danish Medallions, and Leno lace
- 9 step-by-step projects: a color-and-weave scarf, an airy alpaca cowl, a textured block scarf, kitchen towels, placemats, coasters and mug rugs, a ruana, a crossbody bag, and a boho wall hanging
- Design your own: color palettes, sett and shrinkage, reading drafts, and planning worksheets
Every project includes an At a Glance table with the heddle, yarn amounts, warp length, and ends, so you know exactly what to buy before you begin. With 38 clear step-by-step diagrams, full-color photos, a sett and yarn weight chart, blank draft grids, and a glossary, this is the book you will keep beside your loom.
Perfect for new weavers, returning weavers, and anyone who wants to make thoughtful handmade gifts.
