Summary: The classic user friendly "how to" book of rug weaving.
Review: Any hand weaver who is serious about weaving more than one rug needs this book in their library. It is easy to follow and it covers a comprehensive range of techniques. The diagrams are clear and the text is easy to follow. It is possible to skim and to leap across whole chapters to follow your interest. If it has one drawback it is that most of the photographs of Collingwood's own work are in black and white. If you have the inclination towards rugs and the inspiration, Collingwood will support you to avoid the pitfalls and plan the fulfillment of your creative spirit

Review: This is a thorough book, but difficult to understand for beginners. It is dry and complicated to get through and I would only recommend it as a reference, not necessarily a working book. There are others much easier to use for general rug weaving instruction.
