Weaving can be a complex craft. It's all in the set up. Need some help with your EPI? Trying to remember the formula for figuring out how much warp you need? This book is small enough to keep in your castle bin (if your loom has one) for handy reference. And this will help guide you through the finishing process after you've taken your new fabric off the loom.
