The Art of Tapestry Weaving (A Complete Guide to Mastering the Techniques for Making Images with Yarn)

Setting aside thoughts of musty medieval wall hangings, artist/weaver Rebecca Mezoff puts a fresh, contemporary spin on tapestry weaving with this in-depth technique guide. Using a small, inexpensive loom, Mezoff leads crafters and fiber enthusiasts through every aspect of the process, including: selecting yarn, warping the loop, developing a color palette, and weaving the image. She includes in-depth photographic instruction in how to achieve a wide variety of imagery such as angles, vertical lines, cartoons and design, curves, and outlines. Showcasing examples of her own designs along with the work of other inventive tapestry weavers, Mezoff encourages a playful, expressive approach to creating original woven pieces that reflect the style and personality of the individual crafter.
