Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This series plants a long-term love of craft. Each book is by an
established artist in the craft medium. Featuring 15 projects with
clear step-by-step instructions and colorful photography, Weave It!
teaches kids one of the oldest worldwide craft traditions. Using
natural and recycled materials, Maria Sigma, a professional
tapestry weaver, helps you share the joy of creating beautiful
woven items with a new generation of young crafters.
Zero waste is key to Maria Sigma's renowned weaving designs, and
here she shows beginners-and more-accomplished weavers too-how that
philosophy can transform what you weave. Enjoy learning the basics
of both heddle loom and frame loom weaving and succeed at six
guided projects you'll enjoy adding to your home and wardrobe,
while also learning how Sigma has built her practice on
sustainability. "Without our attention on the materials and process
and how they relate to the world, no design is at its best." She
shows how to consider the environmental impact at every stage of
the design and making process, as well as within your daily work
environment and studio space. Learn ways to decrease yarn waste and
avoid unnecessary cuts, as well as how to consider carbon
footprints in terms of your use of machines, water, and
petroleum-sourced energy. With this guide, you can make handweaving
an even more sustainable craft.
