“"This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in Scandinavian-style weaving, and in particular, anyone wanting to learn to weave on a countermarch or counterbalance loom." -- Handwoven Magazine "Once the projects inspire the weaver, there is information on looms and tools that would be useful to many, especially new weavers bewildered by weaving equipment. ...A pleasant addition was the section on materials. We are notorious in the weaving community for not spending enough time learning about the yarns we weave. The images of the thread wraps used in the projects are backed up with information in the text. Not only does this help educate the reader about the projects [in the book], but the information will be beneficial for future projects." -- Heddlecraft Magazine”
